What does the ALRB do?
The Alberta Labour Relations Board (ALRB) is an independent and impartial tribunal responsible for the day-to-day application and interpretation of Alberta's labour laws. The role of the ALRB is to interpret and apply the legislation governing collective bargaining including:
- how and under what conditions a trade union may claim the status of exclusive bargaining agent for a group of employees;
- how the employer and union must bargain to reach or renew a collective agreement;
- what kinds of union and employer conduct is prohibited; and
- when the parties may have recourse to a strike or lockout.
