Labour legislation in Canada comes largely within the provincial jurisdiction.

Abstract: 
Labour legislation in Canada comes largely within the provincial jurisdiction. This legislation controls who may join a union and how unions are formed and may operate. Through representations to governments, the labour movement has attempted to change this legislation. "Submission of the Ontario Federation of Labour to the Honourable Robert Elgie, Minister of Labour" (Oct, 1979, 20 pages) deals with the Labour Relations Act. Another Submission to the Standing Procedural Affairs Committee of the Ontario Legislature (August, 1980, 12 pages) deals with the Ontario Labour Relations Board.

Editor's Note: Connexions readers outside Ontario can approach their local Federation of Labour to obtain similar briefs (presented to their respective provincial governments).
