Collective Agreement impacts the Human Resource functions

/in /by

Julia works at Lethbridge Hospital as an Emergency Unit Clerk. She has worked at the Hospital for 10 months. Her boss, Amrita, is very rude to her. Julia feels that Amrita is biased towards her as she got the job over Amrita’s friend. Julia also feels she gets assigned to bad shifts with bad times and days. Julia is currently working in a non-unionized environment, and wants to change it to union representation.

  1. What are the organizing steps that Julia needs to take that can lead to employee representation by a union?
  2. Amrita gets an anonymous phone call (while Julia is talking to people), and hears that there is a union drive going on. What should Amrita do? What can’t she do? Provide 2 examples for each
  3. After certicifation and the bargaining/negotiation process, a Collective Agreement is put in place. How will the Colective Agreement impacts the Human Resource functions within the unionized work environment.
