Canada's Outdated Labor Laws Deny Workers' Right to Collective Bargaining
The article discusses how Canada's labor laws have evolved over time, particularly focusing on the concept of "freedom of association." In the past, the Supreme Court of Canada had a narrow view of this freedom, but it has since been expanded to include the right to collective bargaining. The issue of the right to strike is still being debated. The current legal framework is seen as flawed and incoherent, leading to challenges in addressing key legal questions. By looking back at past legal decisions, the article aims to clarify the legal issues at hand, ultimately highlighting the role of international law in shaping labor rights in Canada.
