PUBLIC POLICY AND ITS IMPACT ON THE EMPLOYMENT INDUSTRY

Union employees cannot be arbitrarily let go without just cause. Wrongful termination can be grounds for filing a grievance, human rights complaint or lawsuit.
Union employees usually have the terms and conditions of employment outlined in the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) hence they are protected from unfair labor practices from their employers. The employees must receive oral notice of concerns of their behavior, written warning s from the employer, and formal letters of reprimand before the actual termination of employment can occur.
