Recently James Bullbrook,
Liberal MPP(Sarnia), tabled in
the Legislature nine Private
Member's Bills amending
the Ontario Labour Relations Act.
Mr. Bullbrook is the Party's
Labour Critic, and Co -Chairman
of the Liberal Labour Committee
with Remo Mancini, MPP (Essex -
South). Also on the Committee
are four labour lawyers from
outside the Party Causus.
One of the Bills adds to the Act
a provision dealing with the
rights and privileges of trade
unions and employees -in the
event of an employer's implemen-
tation of significant technological
change. An employer, bound by
a collective agreement, who

Bilis to amend Labor Relations Act
proposes to effect a technological
change likely to affect the terms
and conditions or security of
employment of a significant
number of his employees, must
give notice of the technological
change to the union at least
90 days prior to the date on which
it is to be effective. Any employer
failing to give such notice may
be forced into compliance by the
Ontario Labour Relations Board.
Upon receipt of the notice of
technological change, the union
may apply to the Board for an
order granting leave to serve
notice on the employer to com-
mence collective bargai'ning for
the purpose of revising the ex-
isting provisions of the collective
agreement relating to terms and
conditions or security of employ-.
ment, or including new provisions
in the agreement relating to such
matters to assist employees
affected by the technological
change to adjust to its effects.
Also, upon such applicating
having been made by the union,
the employer would not be able
to effect a technological change
until the Board's disposition of
the application. This reopens
collective bargaining for the
purpose of negotiating the impact
of the technological change,
and where necessary would
enable parties to resort to econo-
mic sanction.
Another amendment is aimed
at minimizing the number of court
appeals of arbitrator's awards.
Provision of the definition of
professional strikebreakers is
incorporated in one of the Bills,
as well as the prohibition of their
use.
One of the most significant
amendments is the ban on petit-
ions (also known as statements of
desire) to the Ontario Labour
Relations Board. Apparently
petitions are frequently prepared
,or inspired by the emd—er,
a fact which the Boar! uisc4 ers
only after consl''.,rable dela in
certificatio* dnd expense to the
union. 'ne Bill relating to super-
visory personnel would restrict
exclusion from union coverage
to those people whose primary
responsibilty is to actually
exercise authority and actually
perform functions that are of a
managerial character.
To make is easier for newly
certified bargaining units to
obtain a first collective agree-
ment, one Bill would enable
Labour Relations Board to
arbitratethe first agreement.
The Board would be required to
consider bad faith bargaining and
other instances of 'foot drag-
ging" by the employer in its
award - which would tend to
discourage such actions.
The redefinition of theterm
lockout contained in one of the
Bills is a limitation of the defini-
tion in the Act. This Bill would
eliminate those aspects of the
definition relating to employers'
motives, and the idea is to allow
unions to determine the legality
of a lockout on its obvious mani-
festation, rather than underlying
motives - of which the union may
be hard-pressed to find evidence.
Some, though not all, of the
•proposed labour law changes
were taken frons other jurisdic-.
tions, including Manitoba,
British Columbia, as well as the
Canada Labour Code.
While Private Member's
Bills are seldom accepted by the
Government and made law, the
Liberal labour bills will hope-
fully persuade the Govern-
ment to bring in legislation which
will have a similar effect. Mr.
Bullbrook also plans to introduce
Bills which would amend the
Workmen's Compensation Act,
the Industrial Safety Act and the
Employment Standards Act.
