Paper Summary:

This paper discusses two cases of labour relations and management issues in Canada, namely the Navistar case in Ontario and the Western Customer Management Inc. case in British Columbia. The paper briefly discusses the legal ramifications of the use of scabs and Ontario's decision in 1995 to lift the anti-scab legislation, which led to the injury of six Navistar employees during a strike.

From the Paper:

"Why is Western management denying us access to free democratic vote? When it comes to union organization, it is illegal for employers to interfere and prohibit the creation of unions. In Canada, it is against the law for employers to use intimidation tactics and harassment in an effort to discourage employees from joining a union. Organizations are prohibited from discriminating and demoting workers based on their union membership. Under federal and provincial labour laws, employers are permitted to express their opinions so long as they do not commit illegal labour practices ("Your Rights", 2005, para. 4). "
