On June 8, 2007, the Supreme Court of Canada [SCC] overruled its jurisprudence of the past twenty years on freedom of association. The majority of the judges agreed that section 2d) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects the right to the process to collective bargaining. In doing so, the SCC rejected the ratio of the majority enunciated in the 1987 trilogy and, at last, gave place to international labour law, in particular to freedom of association principles elaborated by the International Labour Organization's supervisory bodies. The analysis of these principles, focused on three related rights, i.e. the right to collective bargaining, the right to strike and the right not to associate, allows the author to conclude that for the first time, Canada is showing greater respect for its international obligations. What the SCC will decide for the right to strike remains to be seen.

The purpose of the study was to determine if there is a relationship between types of entry-level preparatory nursing programs in which a nurse receives basic nursing education and conceptual and theoretical approaches to patient care. A secondary purpose of the study was to determine if there is a relationship between entry-level basic preparatory nursing education and nursing leadership, the ability to make nursing diagnosis, and implementation, as well as evaluation of the nursing process. Three nursing practice categories were identified and included: professional, all-nurse, and technical.Useable data collected by short-essay questionnaire from 343 out of 344 sample subjects were computed to determine the relationship, if any, between basic preparatory nursing education and conceptual and theoretical approaches to patient care. Decisions about three Null Hypotheses were made at the 0.05 level of significance utilizing analysis of covariance and the 0.01 level of significance utilizing Chi-Square analysis.FINDINGS1. For Hypothesis I, the main effect for degree work when covaried with Verbal Scholastic Aptitude Test Scores, Quantitative Scholastic Aptitude Test Scores, time, and age indicated a significance of 0.000 for all item associations in the professional, all-nurse, and technical categories utilizing analysis of covariance, and 0.0000 utilizing Chi-Square analysis.2. For Hypotheses II and III, the main effect for degree work when covaried with the aforementioned variables indicated a significance of 0.000 utilizing analysis of covariance, and 0.0000 utilizing Chi-Square analysis.Conclusions1. Graduates of Baccalaureate degree programs do vary in conceptual and theoretical approach to nursing care in specific nursing care situations.2. There is a significant relationship between the level of basic educational preparation and the degree and proficiency of leadership demonstrated by a nurse in specific nursing care situations, particularly, when uncontrolled variables have been controlled.3. There is a significant relationship between educational preparation and degree of proficiency to which the nurse makes nursing diagnosis, executes, and implements the nursing process, and evaluates the effects of nursing interventions.

This research paper investigated whether there are any limitations or restraints in the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995, which possible keeps an employer from outsourcing functions or parts of a business to a third party.
