What Is Labour Law?
Labour law generally covers the issues that apply in a unionized workplace. Canada’s collective bargaining system is found in federal and provincial labour relations acts and labour codes.

A union that has been certified as an agent for a particular bargaining unit has the exclusive right to negotiate with the employer on behalf of the employees. Generally, the collective agreement outlines how disputes will be handled. Often, disputes are handled through a grievance and arbitrations process.
