Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA): Critical Issues and Strategic Practices Explored
The past two years have seen the undeniable growth of collective bargaining agreements (CBA) in both the public and private sector workplace. In the aftermath of the pandemic, and the continued endemic, the tight labor market, high cost of living, and inflation are expected to create increased tensions and significant disruptions in labor negotiations. Thus, effective and strategic negotiations to keep pace with wage inflation and create overall improved working conditions are paramount. Likewise, as regulatory developments continue to reshape this area of law, employers and practitioners must keep themselves in the loop of emerging developments to avoid pitfalls.

Campbell Jr., (Montgomery McCracken Walker & Rhoads LLP) in an engaging discussion on the key areas of collective bargaining agreements.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
