Privatization is either being implemented or investigated in over 100 countries and has become the plan of action for the government of British Columbia since October 1987. The goal of this project was to predict the effects of privatization on labor relations in British Columbia. The project specifically sought to understand how privatization might affect worker stability and wages, the structure and mechanisms for bargaining, the union's structure and size, and other issues. A delphi procedure was carried out in the fall of 1988 with 3 groups that represented union, management, and neutrals. The participants included some of the highest ranking labor relations practitioners in British Columbia. Based on the delphi prediction, the future of labor relations in British Columbia is one of short-term instability for job holders, lower wages, and fragmentation of management's approach to bargaining. The future also could include increases in costs for unions, more militancy, and more difficulty with improving labor relations.

A study examined the relationship between the climate of industrial relations and grievance outcomes. The grievance data were collected from 6 federal government organizations in western Canada. Climate questionnaires were distributed to the top management groups of all of the organizations, with 46 usable responses obtained. The results suggested that grievances are more likely to be granted under a positive industrial relations climate. The more cooperative and harmonious union-management climates are likely to increase the chances of grievances being granted or partially granted. The results showed that, in organizations that have relatively low scores on the various components of climate, grievances are more likely to be denied or withdrawn. The evidence also suggested that the industrial relations climate may be related to the levels at which grievances are granted. Under favorable climates, grievances are more likely to be granted at lower levels of the grievance process; they also are dealt with more quickly than in other situations.

Sack and Lee (1989) argue that state intervention has become intrusive in Canadian industrial relations. They base their assertions on the increase in back-to-work legislation by provincial and federal governments, the use of wage controls in the public sector in a number of jurisdictions, and statutory criteria imposed on interest arbitrators requiring them to take into account government's ability to pay. They obscure and overlook the positive features of the British Columbia (BC) legislation. The model chosen for dispute resolution in the collective bargaining process has a great deal of merit and clearly does not represent retrenchment in Canadian public policy as Sack and Lee suggest. Indeed, the experience with a similar approach in Ontario suggests that the model chosen in BC may meet some of the very concerns about state intervention articulated by Sack and Lee. Thus, the BC approach to dispute resolution should be examined and evaluated with an open mind.
