MLT can help position you to respond quickly and effectively to workforce challenges before they threaten your business. Our Labour & Employment Law Group provides innovative and practical advice to help employers address discipline and compensation issues, downsizing, the interpretation of collective bargaining agreements and dealing with work stoppages. We also help to ensure smooth collective agreement negotiations and avoid damaging arbitration decisions.

Our practice in this area encompasses three related disciplines: Labour Law - which involves organizations with unions; Employment Law - involving organizations without unions; and Administrative Law - involving the interaction of both types of organizations with regulatory bodies or tribunals.

On Labour & Employment Law matters our lawyers have appeared before a wide range of regulatory agencies, disciplinary tribunals and arbitration boards, as well as Canadian courts at all levels, up to and including the Supreme Court of Canada.

MLT's experience in Labour Law extends back to the very origin of trade union legislation in Western Canada. Over the years we have developed comprehensive experience before Labour Relations Boards, addressing issues such as applications for union certification, unfair labour practices and de-certifications. Where collective agreements are concerned, we are available to assist in planning your negotiating strategies, to advise you on the dynamics of bargaining, and to conduct your negotiations.

In the sphere of Employment Law, we can provide sound practical and legal advice on a full spectrum of issues, from basic questions about safety, overtime and statutory holidays to more complex issues such as substance abuse and personal searches. We have represented clients before various Human Rights Commissions in Western Canada, and we counsel on ways to prevent human rights difficulties from ever arising in the first place.

Our Labour & Employment Law Group can provide advice on all of these issues, as well as the tax implications of pension, disability and other group benefits plans and, should it become necessary, our lawyers can also provide effective representation in the litigation of claims involving such plans.
