Lunch & Learn Webinar: Changes to the Unionization Process - What BC Employers need to Know
Description
Take your lunch hour to learn valuable information. This webinar is open to members of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce.
On June 2, 2022, Bill 10 – 2022: Labour Relations Code Amendment Act, 2022 received Royal Assent and became law. This amendment to BC's Labour Relations Code changed the process in BC for union certification. A union can now be certified in a single step without a vote by automatic or “card-check” certification in cases where 55% or more of the employees in the proposed bargaining unit sign union membership cards. If union membership cards are signed by 45% to 55% of the employees, a secret ballot vote must be held by the Labour Relations Board (LRB) to determine employees’ wishes.
This is a significant change from the two step certification process that has been in place since 2001. This webinar is designed for employers in non-union workplaces. Join us to learn more about the scope of this amendment, and what you and your team could expect in the years ahead.
