The Labour Relations Code (LRC) applies to unionized employees in the private sector. Police, public sector employees and the education sector are covered under separate Acts.
The LRC sets the rules for union-management relations and covers items such as how unions are established, collective bargaining, strikes, collective agreements and unfair labour practices.
Any changes will impact unionized employers but also impact non-union employers should employees exercise their right to join a union.
