Abstract: ?This article focuses on union busting and provides an analysis of the jurisprudence of the cases heard by the labour relations boards of two Canadian provinces, Quebec and Ontario. More specifically, our analysis includes 145 cases in which it has been recognized by the competent courts that employers had used one or more anti-union strategies that can have a discriminatory effect. Our results show that employers have used many tactics to fight unionization in the workplace at different times of a union?s life within a given company. They also show a clear preference for more aggressive strategies relating to the elimination of trade unions. Finally, they show that union discrimination practices often target only one employee, but in some cases, also a group or even all of the employees.?
