Learn from leading experts representing management, union, and government ‒ a Certificate program with an emphasis on the practical.

Over five intensive one-day modules, an expert faculty will equip you with key information and practical insights on Ontario’s labour laws. Classes will include opportunities to have your questions and concerns addressed.

Now in its ninth year, the Osgoode Certificate in Labour Law is an unrivaled resource for navigating this complex and challenging field.

All key areas are covered, including:

  • Union organizing and applications for certification
  • Collective bargaining
  • Grievance arbitration
  • Restructuring unionized environments
  • The law of industrial conflict, including lock-outs and back-to-work legislation

This Certificate program provides a rare opportunity to see the big picture and how it applies to frequently-encountered and perennially-vexing situations—ensuring that you are well-equipped to deal with the challenges coming across your desk daily.
