Under the coordination of Yann Bernard, Bernard Cliche and André Sasseville, the team of legal advisors made up of François LeBel, François Mainguy, Sarto Veilleux and Jean-Guy Villeneuve updated the 6th edition of the famous work by Robert P. Gagnon, deceased in 2006.

In a clear and direct style, Le Droit du travail du Québec looks at the most significant areas of labour laws in Quebec, favoring a practical approach to situations stemming from individual and collective labour relations.  Thus, in addition to reviewing the Quebec Act regarding occupational health and safety, this work also goes over the main issues related to employment contracts and labour standards.  The authors are also painting a complete picture of collective labour relations by taking up areas and applications of the Labour code, freedom of association, certification procedure, collective bargaining and arbitration, conflicts of negotiation, collective agreement and arbitration of grievances.  

Available at Les Éditions Yvon Blais, this new edition is essential for everyone with an interest in labour laws.  It is aimed at labour lawyers as well as managers and administrators called upon to negotiate these issues within their organization, and any mediator dealing with Labour Law.
