Some Labour Law and Industrial Relations Links
- Canada Labour Code
The statute regulating collective bargaining in those industries subject to federal
regulation.

Relations Code

approach to regulation of labour relations, especially with respect to the wide powers
given to the Labour Relations Board and its regulation of picketing and the use of
replacement workers.

Code Review
Report of a task force established by the federal government to review and make
recommendations concerning the part of the Canada Labour Code dealing with collective
bargaining
- Canada Labour Relations Board

decisions available over the Internet. Let's hope that more boards will follow its
example.
