Changes to Labour Relations Code include card checks, first-contract arbitration
Significant changes to Alberta’s workplace laws are coming soon with the passage of the Fair and Family-friendly Workplaces Act (Bill 17) — which will bring about the biggest changes to Alberta’s Employment Standards Code and Labour Relations Code in decades. All provincially regulated employers will be affected, with the majority of changes to union workplaces coming into effect on Sept. 1, 2017, and the remainder coming into effect on Jan. 1, 2018.
