Employer Union Question
Hi all,
I am not well versed in the Ontario Labour Code, so I thought I'd ask here for clarity. At my current employer, some positions are unionized (in 2 separate unions), and about half the employees are part of no union at all. When i was hired, I signed a contract with one union and have been a member since, this was mandatory to accept the job.
My employer is now attempting to force non-union employees to join my union. Is this permissible under Ontario law? When they were hired they made no agreement to be a part of a union and I find it unlikely that an employer could impose that requirement willy nilly, but maybe I'm wrong.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
