Document Summary
Prevents workers from going on strike because since they own part of the company through shares, they would reduce their profits as well. It is a self-articulated voluntary code: caterpillars -> makes giant equipment used in the oil sands industry; unionized. Proposed that if workers didn"t accept a 50% cut in salary, they would shut down the business; union disagreed, so they shut down. Differed from the walmart & magna approach. How does canadian law structure or facilitate unionization through what laws: unionization is facilitated through labour relations boards (e. g. ontario labour relations board) What are the fact situations underlying the walmart canada, magna, and caterpillar articles: the discouragement of unionization through different methods. Walmart -> shut down the location that was unionized. Magna -> collaborated with the employees through shares (since employees were owners, they wanted to keep productivity high too)
