Labour Relations

Many clients operate a unionized, or partially unionized, workforce. We work with management teams to create constructive union/management relations.  We advise management on all facets of strategic labour relations planning.  Our particular services include:

  • Opposing union organizing campaigns
  • Responding to certification and decertification campaigns
  • Supporting employers during collective bargaining
  • Providing negotiation strategies designed to avoid labour action, including strikes and lockout 
  • Implementing collective bargaining agreement terms in the workplace
  • Acting as employer representative during grievance negotiation and arbitration panels
