Final Report of the Ontario Changing Workplaces Review

by David Doorey May 23, 2017
written by David Doorey May 23, 2017

May 23 2017
After a very long wait, the Ontario government today released the final report of its Changing Workplaces Review that examined both the Employment Standards Act and the Labour Relations Act.
Here is the final report.
There is a lot to absorb here, and we can work through it on this law blog in the coming days and weeks.
Screen Shot 2017-05-23 at 10.38.47 AMIf you have observations and comments you would like to post here, use the Comment feature or send me an email.  I’m not interested in bald, hysterical assertions that proposed changes will destroy the economy, but thoughtful, reasoned commentary will be posted.  I will also try to link to thoughtful commentaries posted on other law blogs.
Sadly, I am in administrative meetings at York all day so won’t have much time to study the document myself today.
Best, David

President Biden calls for passage of #PROAct

Act bans employer captive audience anti-union meetings;

Expands def of “employee” to capture essentially what we call “dependent contractors” in Canada;

Increase penalties for unfair labor practices;

Doesn’t adopt card-check.

President Biden: "I'm so sick and tired of companies breaking the law when workers are seeking to unionize"

My fingers are just too big to play an A chord on the #guitar.

Otherwise I would be a rock star. This is the only thing holding me back.

Not seen comparable stats for Canada.There are terminations, but also better laws in most Canadian jurisdictions, including

- remedial certification
- interim reinstatement
- card-check/quick votes

“1 in 5 workers in US is fired for organizing a union” https://onlabor.org/labor-law-reform-is-needed-for-unions-to-succeed/
