Title
How Justice Rand Devised His Famous Formula and Forever Changed the Landscape of Canadian Labour Law
Abstract
Discusses the history of the "Rand Formula," which established the compulsory union dues checkoff for collective work places. A cornerstone of Canadian labour law, the Formula originated in 1946 from an arbitration ruling by Supreme Court Justice Ivan C. Rand following a strike at the Ford motor plant in Windsor, Ontario, in 1945. The political and legal aspects of Rand's ruling are analyzed.
