This is a joint submission from the BC Federation of Labour and Janet Patterson and is our response to the PPRD discussion paper and our recommendations for ASTD policy changes.

In the five years since the previous review of the Labour Relations Code, our world and workplaces have changed significantly. Many of the recommendations flowing out of the last Code review are now implemented, and have brought welcome improvements to workers' lives. But workers continue to face considerable gaps in their ability to access unionization, and those who would benefit from collective bargaining the most too often find themselves without a path to representation. It is time to look to new bargaining structures — sectoral and broader-based bargaining models — to ensure that precarious workers have a pathway to unionization.

This submission provides additional information in response to the presentations and submissions made by others to the Labour Relations Code Review Panel.
