Consider the two time periods below:

a) approximately 1930-1960

b) approximately 1990-2021

Which of these two time periods had the greater impact on the overall labour relations system and labour relations climate that we have today in Canada?

An equally good case can be made for either of these time periods.

So, choose one and make your case by explaining the social and economic developments in that period that influenced "labour relations outcomes" in Canada during that time and why those developments and labour relations outcomes are more important than those in the time period you did not choose.

The term "labour relations outcomes" refers to things such as: changes in labour laws; rates of labour disputes (strikes and lockouts); changes in union density (the percentage of employees in unions); and other outcomes such as collective bargaining results; etc.

Ensure that you provide clear reasoning as to why your chosen period had a greater impact on the overall labour relations system and labour relations climate than the period you did not choose.
