Abstract

In this paper, with a nod to the expositive force of organizing thoughts in triads, I offer three criticisms of the Supreme Court’s recent work re-shaping what the constitutional protection of freedom of association means in the field of labour relations law: (1) it ignores the reasonably clear intent of the drafters of the Charter; (2) it has been inconsistent and unpredictable, producing destabilizing effects; and, (3) it usurps to the judiciary a role in regulating labour relations that is better left to legislators.
