Document Summary
Before going to analyze the rand formula in detail, let us get a better understanding of what rand formula actually is. Rand is a formula, which is generally applied at workplace situations where the employees have to contribute dues for the efforts and struggle carried out by the union regardless of their status in the union. Tuohy found that rand formula is one of the advantages to unions in the canadian labor law (176). The purpose behind creation of this formula is to make the employees contribute financially in different activities carried out by the unions. Employee unions work for all employees and the rights for which the union struggles are given to all employees regardless of their status in the union. Rapaport states, under the terms of the rand formula, employees who work in a place that has a collective agreement must pay dues to the union(25).
