Registration: 1 Day from 9:30am to 4:00pm via ZOOM Video Conference

BC based workers and their unions in federally regulated industries and workplaces are covered by the Canada Labour Code. This course is designed to provide an understanding of key aspects of the code and its application to the unions and employers covered by federal labour law. In this course we will focus on Part II of the Code, dealing with occupational health and safety in federally regulated workplaces. The most important sections will be reviewed, along with interpretations and key rulings that illustrate the application of the Code.
