Where does your current relationship fall on the spectrum?
What is your organization’s vision for the relationship at its best?
How do you get there?

Rapid changes in today’s global economy have placed particular strain on Canadian labour relations. Indeed, the Government of Ontario’s Changing Workplaces Review reflects a need to revisit Ontario’s legislative framework to better align it with growing trends in the workplace, including the rise in precarious employment and rapid technological change.

Looking ahead, collaborative processes are instrumental for overcoming hurdles in union-management relations. Leading employers and unions alike have recognized that in order to forge the path ahead, conflicting priorities must be managed collectively and with a view to consensus-building in order to produce positive results. Collaborative union-management partnerships, if managed effectively, hold the potential to balance an organization’s need to stay agile in rapidly-changing global economy with workers’ ability to share in the organization’s success.

Along with offering practical case studies and important regulatory updates, The Canadian Institute’s Union-Management Relationships Conference will provide a forum to encourage collaboration and dialogue surrounding the key issues impacting labour relations – and where there are opportunities to partner to achieve consensus.

Join a diverse Faculty of Speakers including representatives from Ford, United Steelworkers Union, Loblaws, Hydro One, Compass Group of Canada, the Ontario Labour Relations Board and many more for an in-depth look at how to build successful, mutually beneficial partnerships.

We look forward to seeing you in January!
