Canadian Labour and Employment Law for the U.S. Practitioner, Second Edition provides U.S. attorneys with a unique source of information to assist them in evaluating workplace issues in Canada. Practitioners get a concise explanation of Canada's workplace laws from a U.S. perspective and highlights of the key distinctions between Canadian and U.S. labour and employment law.

The 2009 Cumulative Supplement updates the political and economic developments affecting employment in Canada, including:

• Growing recognition of constitutional protections for collective bargaining rights
• Restrictions on the enforcement of noncompetition provisions
• Limitations on class actions
• Clarification of the scope of the employer's duty to accommodate disabled employees
• Legislated duty of employers to protect employees from workplace violence
