Vancouver & District Labour Council is running a workshop on 'Charter Rights in the Workplace', as part of its 2017 Labour Education program. The session is on Saturday 4th February, running from 9.30am - 4.00pm, at the Maritime Labour Centre, 1880 Triumph Street.

"In recent years the Supreme Court of Canada, and some lower courts, have confirmed important rights for Canadian unions and their members.

"Decisions regarding Bill 29 in the health care sector, the Harper government back-to-work order against postal workers and the recent BC Teachers' Federation win over the right to negotiate class size and composition all combine to establish that Charter rights such as freedom of association include the right to free collective bargaining and due process.

"The implications of these decisions by our top judiciary reach into every workplace - both public and private sector. This course provides and overview of the Charter Rights, the key decisions for unions and how these cases can be used to advance our collective interests."
