Furthermore, labor and employment issues for most Canadian companies are mostly addressed at the provincial level rather than under national, federal law. That means that while Canadian labor laws are often seen as more 'union friendly', the actual rules vary from one province to another.federally.
Although the broad, topic outlines of Canadian labor unions and laws often have comparators to are largely based on the United States' labor laws principles, there are always material, differences on how each jurisdiction administers and enforces them.
