Canada

In Canada, regulation of labour and employment comes under federal or provincial jurisdiction, depending on the industry.

British Columbia

1. GENERAL PRINCIPLES

For provincially-regulated employment within the province of British Columbia (“BC”), the BC Labour Relations Board deals with unionized employment including the granting of collective bargaining rights, negotiation of collective agreements, strikes, and lockouts. Disputes concerning the violation, application, or interpretation of collective agreements are determined by private arbitrator. In non-union situations, the Employment Standards Branch deals with disputes over basic (minimum) employment standards.
