Alberta — Bills

Bill No. 73 of 1954 A BILL TO AMEND THE ALBERTA LABOUR ACT NOTE This Bill amends The Alberta Labour Act, being

chapter 8 of the Statutes of Alberta,

Section 2, clauses (

g) and (

q) are amended. Clause (

g) defines "employee" while clause (

q) defines "wage". As the definition of "employee" depends in part upon the defini tion of "wage" .both

definitions are amended to remove a repetition occurring therein and thereby do define both terms more shortly.

Section 3, which relates to the applicability of this Act, is amended to clarify the extent of the application of the Act.

Section 10 is amended. This relates to the records which employers are required to keep and is amended for clarifica tion. In addition a provision has been added whereby em ployers are , required to keep records concerning annual holidays of employees.

Section 13, subsection (2) is amended for the purpose of granting to employers a longer period of time in which to report overtime worked in the previous month by their employees, and also to remove the necessity of recording the particulars of the overtime in detail.

Section 15, subsection (1) is amended to remove an ambiguity which mitigates against the intention of the sec tion that an employee receive 24 hours of rest in each period of 7 consecutive days.

Section 17 is amended for the purpose of clarifying the intent. As the

section presently reads an employer would be guilty of an offence if he did not give his employees 24 hours' notice that the

schedule of hours of work was to be exceeded; it was intended that this provision apply to change of shift and the new subsections (1) and (3) so state.

Section 18 is repealed to remove the burdening of an em ployer with a duplication of records as the hours of work of an employee are required as a matter of record by

section 10 and the present

section 18 requires the same thing with regard to additional hours worked by an employee in certain cases.

Section 19 is amended for the purpose of clarifying the intent of the

section and makes no substantive change.

Section 21 is amended to remove a latent ambiguity in the

section and to re~trict its provisions to the employee~J of an employer.

Section 24, subsections (1) and (2) are amended to re move an inconsistency between the provisions of clause (

a) of subsection (1) and clause (

a) of subsection (2), and the rest of the section.

Section 28 is amended for the purpose of setting out more clearly the powers of the Board with respect to the fixing of a fair wage in industries in the Province.

Section 29 is amended for the purpose of setting out more clearly the penalties prescribed for a violation of the minimum wage rate fixed by the Board under

Part II of The Alberta Labour Act.

Section 34 is amended for the purpose of removing an ambiguity presently existing in the

section and also for the purpose of adding by way of a new subsection a provision that this

section when it prohibits the employment of children does not apply to a child who is securing vocational training through employment and properly excused from school for that purpose.

Section 43 is amended as to subsection (1) by rearrang ing clause (

b) to show more clearly the power the Board is given under this subsection. Clause (

b) of subsection (1) is amended to refer to a holiday with pay stamp book. The holiday with pay stamp book is further dealt with by a new subsection (1a) and requires that while an order requiring the issuing of a holiday with pay stamp book remains in force an employer who accepts a holiday with pay stamp book from his employee must maintain the same, and if unable to return the same to the employee one week after a demand therefor make up one and give it to his employee.

Section 45, clause (

b) is amended for the purpose of de fining "schedule" more accurately.

Section 47 is amended to substitute a defined term where that defined term is actually meant. Se'ction 48 is amended, firstly, to rearrange the content of the present

section into three subsections for ease of read ing; secondly, to strike out clause (

j) of the present

section 48 which permitted employers and employees in industries to fix a charge or price for services to the public and thirdly to place in this

section as subsection ( 4) the present

section 55, which prohibits certain wage rates and labour hours being set out in the

schedule being formulated under

section

Section 49 is amended. The present

section 49 is re arranged into subsections.

Section 50 has been incorporated into

section 49 as a subsection thereof as it relates to the same matters as dealt with by

section

Section 50 is repealed as it is incorporated into

section

Section 52, subsection (1) which provides for the settina up of ~n advisory council by the employees and employers

iii engaged in an industry to which a

schedule relates, is amended to ensure that the advisory council will be a ,ioint council having equal representation of employers and em ployees.

Section 58, subsection (1) is amended to remove- an ambiguity and to make it clear that an employer shall not pay to an employee a wage less than the minimum wage fixed by a schedule.

Section 54, subsection (1), which prohibits an employee from working for less than the minimum wage fixed by the

schedule or for a greater number of hours than the maximum hours fixed by the ~chedule, is amended for the purpose of clarifying the provision.

Section 55 is repealed as it is now incorporated in

section

Section 57 is amended. Clause (

a) of subsection (1), which defines "bargain collectively" is amended to remove an ambiguity caused by a difference in terminology between the terms used in the definition and defined terms found elsewhere in this subsection. Clause (

k) is added to define the word "unit" as it is used in

Part V of the Act relating to collective bargaining. Subsection (2) is amended for the purpose of clarifying the intention of that

section which is to ensure that if an employee was dismissed from his employ ment immediately before an application for certification of a bargaining agent or an application for an appointment of a conciliation commissioner, or before the occurrence of a legal lock-out or strike, the employee is to be deemed to be employed for the purpose of the Act until the application for certification is disposed of, or in the case of a dispute until' after the dispute has proceeded through conciliation, arhitration and until the dispute is finally settled by a strike or loek-out or otherwise.

The presumption is established to protect an employee in any case where a majority of his fellow employees wish to enjoy collective bargaining.

Section 59 is amended. This

section presently .contains eleven subsections, not all of which deal with the same sub ject matter. In the past this has caused some uncertainty as to the extent of provisions contained in individual subsec tions.

Section 59 is therefore rearranged into sections 59, 59a to 59n, inclusive.

Section 59 now provides that collective bargaining is lawful. This was the previous subsection (1) of

section

Section 59a provides that a bargaining agent may be elected by the employees of a unit where they have no bargaining agent.

Section 59b prescribes the cases in which a bargaining agent may apply to the Board for certification.

Section 59c makes provision for the joint application of trade unions to be certified as bargaining agents. These pro-

iv visions relate to two or more trade unions of the same craft or of a group exercising the same technical skills. The application would be dealt with as though it were an applica tion by one trade union.

Section 59d prescribes the inquiries that the Board of In dustrial Relations will make after the ·re.ceipt of an applica tion for certification of a bargaining agent.

Section 59e sets out the powers of the Board with respect to an inquiry u·pon the application for certification of a bargaining agent.

Section 59/ prescribes the conditions upon which the Board will certify an applicant to be a bargaining agent or will refuse such an application.

Section 59g forbids the certification as a bargaining agent of any organization of employees dominated by the em ployer, and an agreement entered into between an employer and such art organization shall be deemed not to be a collective agreement.

Section 59h sets out the result following upon a trade union being certified as the bargaining agent of employees in a unit.

Section 59i relates to and permits the making of an appli cation for the suspension of a certification of a bargaining agent.

Section 59j sets out the result of a suspension of a certifi cation of a bargaining agent.

Section 59k relates to and permits the making of an ap plication for the removal of a suspension of a certification of a bargaining agent.

Section 59l sets out the powers and duties of the Board with respect to the procedure and investigations and orders which it may make for the purpose of determining the merits of any application made to the Board for certifica tion, for suspension of a certification or for the removal of the suspension of a certification of a bargaining agent.

Section 59m prescribes the employees entitled to vote under any vote taken under sections 59l, 80, subsection (7) or 81, subsection (4).

Section 59n relates to subsequent applications made after an application for certification, for suspension of a certifica tion or for the removal of the suspension of a certification of a bargaining agent has been refused by the Board.

Section 60 is amended. Subsection (2) is amended to provide for five days' notice instead of three days' notice where notice to commence collective bargaining is given by a party. Subsection ( 4) is amended for clarification. Sub sections (5) to (10) are struck out. Subsection (5) be comes a. new

section 85a; subsections ( 6) and (7) are struck

v out as they provide for the intervention of the Board of Industrial Relations on the request of the Minister. These last two subsections serve no useful purpose since the Act provides for the appointment of a conciliation commissioner. Subsection (8) becomes subsection (3) of

section 68. Sub sections (9) and (10) relate to the ease of the intervention by the Board on the request of the Minister and are struck out for the same reason as subsections (6) and (7) were removed.

Section 61, subsection (1) is amended. A new subsection (le~) expands the present provision with respect to the terms of a collective agreement for a term in excess of one year and provides that such an agreement shall contai:q or be deemed to contain a ·provision for termination of the agree ment after the first year by mutual consent of the parties, or at the end of the second or subsequent years by at least two months' notice by either party to the agreement before the end of each year that the agreement continues in effect. It is the purpose of this amendment to encourage longer term collective agreements.

Subsection (4) is amended for the purpose of making any collective agreement entered into between a bargaining agent, (whether certified or not), and an employer, binding upon the bargaining agent, the em ployer and all of the employees in the unit on whose behalf the bargaining agent entered into the agreement. Subsec tion (5) is amended to relate the provisions to the amended subsection (4). A new subsection (6) makes provision for penalties in case parties to a collective agreement or any person covered by the agreement contravene the provisions of

section

Section 62 is amended for the purpose of making it clear that any question involving the relations between an em ployer and a majority of his employees in a unit shall be de termined by an expression of opinion by the majority of the employees.

Section 63 is amended. This

section which prohibits em ployers from having certain dealings with trade unions is amended for the purpose of providing that an employer may make to a trade union donations to be used solely for the welfare of employees in the trade union and the dependants of employees. A new

section 64b is added. It prohibits an employer from altering any of the conditions of employment or giving effect to any change in wages or hours of work during the period of time intervening between the date of application for certification of a bargaining agent and the date the application is disposed of, and is for the purpose of prevent ing undue influence by an employer prior to the Board of Industrial Relations taking a vote of the employees.

Section 66, subsection ( 1) is amended for clarification.

Section 68 is amended. Subsection (1) is amended. By the present wording of this subsection a dispute might arise

vi and the parties could make application for the appointment of a con.ciliation commissioner even though a collective agreement was in effect and that dispute could affect only one employee. The new subsection (1) is for the purpose of making the provisions relate only to disputes arising in the course of negotiations for a collective agreement or for the revision or renewal of existing agreements. The new sub section (2) is the previous subsection (8) of

section

Section 71, clause (

b) is amended for the purpose of mak ing it clear that the conciliation commissioner's recommenda tions are to be submitted to the parties for their considera tion.

Section 75, subsection (2) is amended for the purpose of clarifying the provisions of this subsection and to acknow ledge the new status of Canadian citizenship. Subsection (7) is amended to clarify its intent.

Section 79, subsection (3) is amended to clarify the intent.

Section 80 is amended. Subsection (2) is amended tore move a reference to two subsections of

section 60 which have been repealed. Subsections (7), (8) and (9) are amended to remove any uncertainty w1th respect to the rights of employees to vote on the question of acceptance or rejection of the award of a board of arbitration and to further pro vide that the results of voting supervised by the Board shall be determined upon a majority vote of the employees voting.

Section 81 is amended. Subsection (1) is amended tore move a reference to matter and subsections that have been repealed. Subsection (4) is amended for the purpose of clarification.

Section 82a, subsection (2) is amended to make it clear that the power of the Minister to refer the matter of a strike or lock-out to a judge of the Supreme Court for adjudi cation as to the legality or illegality of the strike or lock-out is not operative only in and to the period during which a strike or lock-out exists.

Section 82b is repealed.

Section 82c is amended to ensure that any amount assessed a trade union for yarticipating in an illegal strike will be based on the actua time lost by an employee participating in the strike.

Section 82e is amended to provide that the amount assessed upon an employer in the case of an illegal lock-out will be based on the actual time lost by a locked out employee.

Section 85a is added. Subsection (5) of

section 60 pre viously provided that no prosecution for an infraction of the provisions of the old

section 60 could be commenced or carried on by any person other than the person authorized in writing by the Minister so to do. The new

section 85a provides that no prosecution for an offence under

Part V is

vii to be instituted without the consent in writing of the Minister. Subsection (2) sets out the sufficiency of the Minister's consent.

Section 87, subsection (3) is amended.

The amendment is to clarify the intent of the sub

section that such information shall be used for certain purposes only.

Section 91, subsection (2) is amended for the purpose of removing superfluous words. This Bill comes into force upon assent. J. W. RYAN, Acting Legislative Counsel. (This note does not form any part of the Bill but is offered in explanation of its provisions.)
