Hello everyone. Welcome to MHRM 6700, Workplace Law, Practice, and Policy.
This class explores the Three Regimes of Work Law: (1) The Common Law; (2) Employment Regulation (Employment Standards and Human Rights); and (3) Collective Bargaining Law.
The course objective is to familiarize you with key issues and policy debates that shape the law of the workplace. You will learn key legal rules relevant to HR managers, and you will engage the key ‘big’ debates that shape all labour policy and the role of law in trying to influence employment conditions. Thus, the course is a mix of practical law and theoretical and policy debate.

Outline
The outline is posted above under the Outline tab. You need to enter the password, which I will send to you via email. I understand that the textbook has been mailed out. I have attempted to map out a schedule for the classes that involve a mix of live interaction on Zoom, group discussion, and time to work alone on readings, watching lectures, and trying exercises.
Lecture videos
I have posted some prerecorded lectures that align with the assigned readings from the textbook. Here can find them here.
Please let me know if you have any questions about the first assignment or anything else, and otherwise I will “see” you on September 11. Best, David
