  • Changing Workplaces Review Final Report May 23, 2017
    Changing Workplaces Review Final Report May 23, 2017 Dear Clients and Friends, Today, the Government of Ontario released the Changing Workplaces Review final report and recommendations, labeling it an “An Agenda for Workplace Rights”. Touted as the first independent review of the Employment Standards Act and Labour Relations Act in more than a generation, the review was commenced in February, 2015. For every Ontario employer, the recommended changes to the Employment Standards Act and Labour Relations Act are far reaching and will have significant impact. The government has undertaken to announce its formal response to the report in the coming days, and may be aiming to table draft legislation modeled on all, or part, of the recommendations prior to the Legislature rising for summer recess (June 1, 2017). If that occurs we could see legislation make its way into force by late Fall or early next year. Sherrard Kuzz LLP will review the report and government response and distribute a comprehensive briefing note, as we did following the release of the Interim Report (see Sherrard Kuzz LLP homepage). In the interim, to review the report click here, and the summary report click here. Sherrard Kuzz LLP is one of Canada’s leading employment and labour law firms, representing management. Firm members can be reached at 416.603.0700 (Main), 416.420.0738 (24 Hour) or by visiting www.sherrardkuzz.com.

Her story in answer to an inauiry is hest as she tells it herself: "In the fall of 1928 I had my first opportunity to fly as a co-pilot on a tri-motored Bach on the West Coast Air Transport ISne, which operated between Seattle and San Francisco. I wasn’t on the pay­ -roll then and didn’t make so many trips, but just went when I was / invited by one of the pilots. You see, I owned an 055 Eagleroek and /’ soloed it in one hour and 50 minutes, hut 'that didn’t mean that I knew all about flying. So the pilots on this line took turn about giving me instruction. A woman flying alone in this Northwest country was quite a novelty then, and at first these pilots, all former Army pilots, flew with me out of curiosity, thinking it impossible for a woman to fly decently, But after flying a while with me they decided that maybe I would be a pretty good pilot with more instruction. So they pro­ ceeded to see that I got it* "Finally the chief pilot on the airline said that I haAdled the Bach as well as any of the co-pilots and that I could be his special co-pilot, that is, go with him on charter trips.
