The Foundation is runby a Boardof Directors madeup ofwell-respected humanrights activists, progressivelabour relations academics and union-side labourlawyers.Current members of theBoardincludelabourlawscholar Judy Fudge fromthe University of VictoriaLaw School, British Columbia; well-known labourlawyer Paul Cavalluzzo, whohasledthefight for therights of migrant workersall the way to the Supreme Courtof Canada; Nathaliedes Rossiers, General Counsel for the Canadian Civil Liberties Association;and Drew Plaxton,Chair of the CanadianAssociation ofLabourLawyers. NUPGENational President JamesClancynotes that hisunionwouldliketheFoundation tobe a forum forthebroaderlabourrights community. "Wehope CFLRwillprovide an independent and supportivevoice for progressivelabour law reform and willpromote itsworktothebroader labourrights communities - unionsand other labourorganisations, labourrelations programs within Canadianuniversities andcolleges,labour lawschoolsandlegalfirms andother progressive think tanks". Clancyadded,"we arefortunate to havesomeofthemostprogressive and brightest mindson labourrights in Canada serveon the BoardofDirectors oftheFoundation". CFLR held its inauguralmeetingin May in Toronto.Besidesproviding BoardMembers the opportunity to discusscurrent and pendingconstitutional labourlawcasesinCanadawhichthey are involvedwith,themeeting focusedon two priority agendaitems. CFLRBoard memberPaul Cavalluzzo,Senior Partner with the Toronto-based law firm Cavalluzzo,Hayes,Shilton, Mclntyre & Cornish LLP, provided an overview ofthearguments presentedattheSupreme Court ofCanadaCSC COin the Fraserv. Ontanocase. This case has been ongoing in Canada for over a decade and involvesthedenialof theright to join a union andbargain collectively toagricultural workers in theprovince ofOntario. The case was heardin Canada'sSupremeCourtin December2009and a decisionis pending.Cavalluzzohas been the lead unioncounselforthecase. The outcomeof thiscase is being watched closelyby theCanadianlabourmovement with theexpectation that itwillbuilduponthehistoric June 2007 Supreme Court'sdecision (Health Services and Support - FacilitiesSubsector Bargaining Assn. v. BritishColumbia) where Canada'stopjusticesruledthattheright to collectivebargaining is a constitutional right of all Canadians. Thesecondkeyitem on theagendawas a presentation by UK labour lawyer Marcus Pilgerstorfer, a barrister at Old SquareChambers in London.Pilgerstorfer spoke on theextent to which the European Courtof Human Rights CEctHR')has recognised theright to strike as a component partofArticle 11 (theright to freedomofassociation ) oftheEuropeanConvention on HumanRights and Fundamental Freedoms. He focusedon theDemirand Baykarav.Turkey case as wellas other recent Europeancase law. The Strasbourg Court's jurisprudence has often been comparedwiththepositiontakenby the Supreme Court ofCanadaintheBritish Columbia health workers case. CFLR'sprimeinterest in hearingabout these cases was consideration ofwhatappearstobe a convergence in Canada and Europe courtson interpreting FreedomofAssociation through the applicationof international law. A majorcommonality betweenthetwocourtsis thefactthat both the SCC and the EctHRdeveloped and applieda restricted interpretation offreedom of association intheir earlier case lawandhavenow reversed jurisprudence witha muchmorewider interpretation offreedom ofassociation, basedin parton theapplication ofinternational standards through theILO.
