IDRL 309 Industrial Relations

In The Riddle of Human Rights, Gary Teeple asserts there are three kinds of human rights (which, in turn, suggests that human rights are not universal, inherent, inalienable, and indivisible). Acquire and read the following four cases:

Reference Re Public Service Employee Relations Act (Alberta), [1987] 1 SCR 313

Health Services and Support – Facilities Subsector Bargaining Assn. v. British Columbia. [2007] 2 SCR 391

Ontario (Attorney General) v. Fraser, 2011 SCC 20

Saskatchewan Federation of Labour v. Saskatchewan [2015] 1 SCR 245.

Using Teeple’s categories of economic, political, and social rights, write a  essay (1) outlining the human rights claims about unionization and collective bargaining rights that workers have advanced under the Charter in each of these cases, and (2) assessing to what degree these claims have been successful given the court decisions.
