Le 18 février dernier, le Comité de droit du travail national (CDTN) a soumis au Conseil une recommandation de demande le statut d’intervenant devant la CSC dans le dossier de la Saskatchewan. Le Conseil a entériné la recommandation . Le bureau de Caley Wray a le mandat de préparer la demande d’intervention pro bono et l’ACAMS payera les déboursés. La demande d’intervention sera disponible sur notre site internet dans la section réservée aux membres lorsqu’elle sera complétée et nous vous tiendrons informé du résultat. Ceci est la première fois que l’ACAMS fait une demande d’intervenir dans le cadre d’un litige.

Osgoode Professional Development's Comparative Labour & Employment Law: The British Model [Eligible for 3 CPD credits]
Much of Canadian employment law is borrowed, or at least built upon the foundation of, the British common law of the employment contract. Yet the modern British approach to employment law has veered in important ways from the Canadian approach, both in terms of the development of the common law model and in the manner in which the two countries have chosen to regulate work. Despite its roots in the British legal system, the Canadian approach to governing collective labour relations reflects more American influence than British. The British "voluntarist" approach to industrial relations eschewed statutory recognition of unions, enforceable collective agreements, and tight government control of industrial action. Yet we can still see the influence of British law on Canadian labour law, for example, in the system of torts that continue to govern industrial conflict in both countries. This course introduces students to key historical and contemporary issues and debates in British labour and employment law from a comparative law perspective. Join prestiged Professor Alan Bogg from Oxford University for this special event!

Pro-Bono Students Canada is currently putting together a Union-Side Labour Law Project at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law. The goal of this project is not only to give students valuable experience in the area of law, but also to produce meaningful public legal education materials for unions and/or other community organizations.

If you know of any such organizations that might be interested in working with a small group of students in the coming school year please tell them to contact Lauren Pearce at pbscunionlabour@gmail.com for more information. Thank you.
