Assignment task:
Collective bargaining is evolving with the times, particularly in response to significant change prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Me Too movement, Black Lives Matter, and the Truth and Reconciliation efforts. In preparation for bargaining, the union and the employer must draft proposals. Apart from the usual items of wages and benefits, vacation, etc., other bargaining issues will form part of the proposals that will be of common interest to the employer and the union.
Find a reliable Canadian source, news article, journal article, legal blog post, or trade union website that discusses a new bargaining issue. Summarize and explain why the new issue matters.
