Union Resources
Tools, not a library
Primary sources first. I will not host PDFs I do not own. If a link dies, use CanLII.
Law and decisions
- CanLII
Awards, statutes, and the cases named in the writing.
- Ontario Collective Agreements library
Search employer or union. The books live on the government site. I do not host them.
- Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Section 8 (search) and the other Charter rights that show up in labour awards. The Constitution is still the Constitution at work.
- Ontario e-Laws
The Employment Standards Act, the Labour Relations Act, the Human Rights Code, OHSA — the text, not a summary.
- Ontario Labour Relations Board
Certification, unfair labour practices, construction.
- Ontario Human Rights Commission
Duty to accommodate policies, including disability.
- Canadian Human Rights Act
Federal workplaces — banks, telecom, airlines, some Crown work.
Employment standards and safety
- Employment Standards (Ontario)
ESA floors. The collective agreement can go higher. It cannot go below.
- Ministry of Labour
Health and safety, ESA claims, employment standards officers.
- WSIB
Return to work is not the same as the Code duty to accommodate.
Labour movement
- Canadian Labour Congress
National centre. Education and campaigns.
- Ontario Federation of Labour
Provincial centre for affiliated unions in Ontario.
