How "anti-union" laws saved Canadian labour: Certification and striker replacements in post-war industrial relations
Abstract
This article analyzes the development in Canada of 2 critical differences between Canadian and US labour policy: union recognition and state regulation of striker replacements. The development of public policy on these issues helps illuminate the fundamental principles of state intervention in post-war labour-management relations. Canadian lawmakers have circumscribed the economic weapons of unions and established stringent certification requirements; but they have also restricted employers' recruitment of striker replacements and limited management involvement in the certification process.
