Labour Relations - BC’s New Unionization Rules

In 2022, the BC NDP Government changed provincial labour law and stripped workers of the right to a secret ballot in many union certification drives. This made “card check” the law of the land for the first time since 2001, and building trades unions are expected to become more aggressive in 2023 in trying to unionize open shop businesses like yours. 

It’s vital ICBA members understand these rules, so ICBA Training is offering a free, 90-minute webinar with labour lawyer Craig Munroe. 

Craig will lead a high-level discussion on the impact of the loss of the secret ballot and return of card check, and how it impacts your company, including: 

• BC’s current legal environment – the loss of the secret ballot
• What is card check?
• Implications for companies and workers
• The process
• Q&A
