Law assignment

Assignment assesses your understanding, analysis, and practical
application of the law as it relates to the exercise of bargaining
rights.

You are expected to analyze and form a number of conclusions on a
case in which collective bargaining rights are tested, as they are so
often, by an industrial dispute. Read the following case study, and
study the questions that appear at the end of the case. Then, combine
your answers to these questions in an essay that does not exceed 1,500
words.

The Issues for You to Decide

In the light of the course material and your own provincial (Alberta,
Canada) labour relations legislation, answer the following questions:

1. Does a strike or lockout end a collective agreement?

2. If so, does an employer have the ability to unilaterally impose
terms and conditions of employment once strike or lockout action ends
the collective agreement?
