As we begin 2025, employers across Canada are navigating complex workplace challenges to ensure they remain compliant with the law. Join us for an engaging webinar where April Kosten and Craig Lawrence will provide valuable insights on two critical topics impacting unionized workplaces:

Drug and alcohol testing: April Kosten will cover the do's and don’ts of employee drug testing in unionized workplaces, highlighting a recent Federal Court of Appeal decision allowing drug tests for safety-critical employees before starting work at a nuclear facility.

Health and safety: Craig Lawrence will share best practices for implementing safety training, maintaining records, investigating incidents, and determining when independent medical exams are necessary in unionized environments.

This webinar will provide you with the latest legal insights and strategies to navigate these critical issues in today’s workplace environment.
