Healthcare Labour and Employment

From hospitals and long-term care homes to paramedics, radiology clinics, and dental practices, Mathews Dinsdale has the depth of healthcare sector experience to serve as your go-to resource for all labour and employment issues.

Healthcare is one of the most complex and heavily regulated employment environments in Canada. Spanning dozens of federal and provincial statutes, collective agreements, professional regulatory frameworks, and public health directives, it is in constant evolution. Our lawyers understand how healthcare organizations operate. We bring practical, operational knowledge of healthcare workplaces, as well as the funding and governance structures that shape every employment decision.

We act exclusively for employers, helping healthcare organizations across Canada minimize workplace conflict and, whenever possible, avoid costly and disruptive litigation. On a daily basis, we assist clients with matters such as:

  • Labour Relations & Collective Bargaining

  • Human Rights & Accommodation
  • Discipline & Termination
  • Workplace Investigations
