Canadian Labour and Employment Law for the U.S. Practitioner, Fourth Edition

As the United States continues to be Canada's major trading partner and most significant foreign investor, Canadian Labour and Employment Law for the U.S. Practitioner continues to be the essential resource for U.S. attorneys counseling American businesses seeking to do business north of the border. Now updated with a Fourth Edition, this treatise offers a concise explanation of Canada's workplace laws from a U.S. perspective and highlights the key distinctions between Canadian and U.S. labor and employment law. Highlights of the Fourth Edition include: identification of the termination provisions under which employers may fire employees without just cause, as long as they provide notice or make minimum payments in lieu of giving proper notice; analysis of a pair of key Supreme Court of Canada decisions (Mounted Police Association of Ontario v. Canada (Attorney General) and Saskatchewan Federation of Labour v. Saskatchewan) that interpret the Canadian guarantee of freedom of association to generously protect against substantial interference with the right to a meaningful process of collective bargaining; and discussion of recent rulings examining the procedural fairness of workplace investigations, which have taken central stage in recent years.
