Doorey’s Essay on Comparative Strike Law on Harvard Law Review

by David Doorey February 16, 2024
written by David Doorey February 16, 2024

If you are looking for some reading on comparative labo(u)r law and the law of strikes and labour law policy — and really who isn’t? — you might want to check out my essay published recently by the Harvard Law Review blog.

It advocates the importance of doing a deep dive into how foreign laws develop over time and how they function in practice whenever proposals are made to reform domestic labour laws by borrowing another country’s legal rules.  The focus of the piece on potential reforms to Canadian and American strike laws.

You can read the article on the Harvard Law Review website here:

    Sorry to hear of the passing of Leo Gerard, former head of the Canadian and International Steelworkers' Union.

    I had the pleasure of meeting Leo several times. He was one of the smartest and toughest, but also kind people in the labour relations world.

    Interesting discussion here about whether Canadian human rights legislation should include "political opinion/belief" as a prohibited ground.

    In Canada, some form of political opinion is protected everywhere except: Ontario, Alberta, Nunavut, Sask, and federal.
