Newsflash: SCC to Release Fraser v. Ontario Today!

The Supreme Court of Canada will be issuing its long-awaited decision in Fraser v. Ontario later this morning.
I will be at Labour Arbitration conference at the ROM this morning when it is released, along with Professors Bernie Adell, Kevin Banks, Brian Etherington, and others and many from the labour law bar.
The case is expected to further explain the developing scope of Section 2(d) Freedom of Association in the Charter. The case involves the exclusion of agricultural workers from the Labour Relations Act, and the scope of the Agricultural Employees Protection Act, 2002, which granted some rights to those workers, but not the full arsenal of rights available to most other Ontario workers. Word on the street is that this decision took so very long to be written–it was argued in December 2009–has been a source of considerable tension among the Supreme Court justices.  The entire international labour law community is interested in this case.
I have done numerous blog entries on this case already, plus some guest blogs from Professor Roy Adams. Here’s the links:
