Changing Employment Relationships and the Unintentional Evolution of Canadian Labour Relations Policy

Gilles Trudeau

Canadian Public Policy, 2002, vol. 28, issue 1, 149-152

Abstract: As Lowe (in this issue) discusses, employment relationships have undergone significant changes in Canada, including the rise of non-standard forms of employment, new types of work organization and a much larger diversity in people's life course. Our current labour policy, which was designed to match the postwar Fordist model of employment, leaves large numbers of workers without an adequate level of social protection. This calls for major innovations in the regulatory framework applying to labour. Alongside the current policy regarding collective bargaining and minimum labour standards, new policies aimed at ensuring the well-being and the development of individuals throughout their career should be defined.
