Willis & Winkler on Leading Labour Cases 2020 lets you find an expert analytical review of key decisions and trends from across Canada and get clarification of the significance of these recent developments. This text is written by experts who are uniquely qualified to select the leading cases and provide concise analysis and commentary on trends and emerging issues in labour law. These authors are also editors of Labour Arbitration Cases, a Law Report service that compliments this resource.
This edition returns to the stylistic approach from prior years, shifting from a broad, macro lens to a more focused, micro lens. Part I is concerned with the interpretation of collective agreements. Part II looks at select topics in the administration of collective agreements. Part III is reserved for key updates in select issues.
