What are the terms and conditions of an employment relationship between an employer and unionized employees?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from B.C. Teachers’ Federation v. British Columbia (Public School Employers' Association), 2011 BCCA 537 (CanLII):

Generally, all of the terms and conditions of the employment relationship between an employer and unionized employees are found within the four corners of the applicable collective agreement, but as I noted in Bennett v. British Columbia, 2007 BCCA 5, 277 D.L.R. (4th) 440 at para. 69, “the law does not preclude parties from agreeing to exceptions or prevent a legislature from legislating exceptions”.
