Labour Law for Employers

It is important for employers to understand their rights and obligations in the labour relations process. It is also critical to have the right representation if the need for legal action arises.

Carbert Waite LLP’s labour lawyers provide sensible advice to employers with unionized workplaces throughout the different stages of labour relations, including responding to a certification application, navigating labour board hearings and objections to certification, negotiations, and collective bargaining, managing compliance with the collective agreement and labour relations legislation, responding to grievances and arbitration, and conducting hearings before labour relations boards.

We understand the unique requirements of labour relations. Our experienced labour lawyers advise on a wide variety of labour matters, including but not limited to:

  • Certification Applications
  • Voluntary Recognition
  • Unfair Labour Practice Complaints
  • Collective Bargaining
  • Duty of Fair Representation Complaints
