All employees have a legal right (under The Saskatchewan Employment Act) and a constitutional right (under The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms) to join a union of their choice. It is illegal for an employer to restrain, intimidate, threaten, coerce, suspend, terminate or discriminate against an employee in response to an employee exercising their right to join a union. The Saskatchewan Labour Relations Board has broad powers to order employers to stop committing unfair labour practices, to reinstate employees unjustly dismissed and to order employers to pay lost wages and benefits.
