You've mentioned comparative examples. You also wrote that “formally structured voice mechanisms are on the wane in Canadian workplaces” and went on:
Elsewhere in the world, providing workers with regular, protected channels for voice and input is considered a basic democratic right, protected by law. In many European countries, for example, firms must establish works councils composed of elected employee representatives, who participate in certain workplace decisions and monitor local conditions and practices.
How does Canada rate in this regard, and do you have any suggestions to give the federal government for how we can improve our record in that regard?
