This report explores some of the key issues facing business and labour in responding to the challenges posed by the trend toward a core/contingent employment model.
Document Highlights
In the past decade, many Canadian organizations have streamlined their processes, improved cost efficiency, outsourced non-core activities and strengthened the flexibility of their workforce. To this end, their human resource strategies have increasingly called for an employment model that uses a core of permanent or “regular” employees and a flexible pool of part-time and contingent workers.
This report provides examples of innovative initiatives developed by employers and labour organizations who are working together to find the right balance between employer concerns for efficiency and cost savings and union concerns for improved wages, better working conditions and equitable treatment.
