At a time when official statistics are under political pressure elsewhere, Canada has an opportunity and a responsibility to strengthen its own commitment to open, reliable labour relations data. @AdamDKKing1 and I explain why: theconversation.com/why-canada-nee… #canlab #cdnpoli

Canada is a definitely a laggard when it comes to collecting and publishing data about unions and labour relations. @ESDC_GC tables need to be restored. readthemaple.com/the-government… #canlab #cdnpoli

Canada needs better labour relations data. Read our open letter on the need to restore public access to data tracking work stoppages — and for stronger collection of labour relations statistics. cawls.ca/en/canada-need… #canlab #LabourStudies

We don’t know what’s in the tentative agreement between Air Transat and its pilots, but it’s clear that the lack of a threat of government intervention kept management at the table to hammer out an agreement. That’s how bargaining is supposed to work. theglobeandmail.com/business/comme…

Research on strikes and lockouts depends on consistent longitudinal data. We need it to identify trends & shifts in labour relations. Without good data, you can’t properly analyze, compare & contextualize current labour conflicts. theglobeandmail.com/business/artic… #canlab #cdnpoli
