http://www.naalc.org/english/publications/prelim_4.htm "Outside of Quebec, Canada's provincial labor law authorities, as well as the federal jurisdiction, do not extend terms and conditions of employment negotiated by major unions and employers in a sector to the rest of the firms and workers in that sector. In Quebec, however, there are twenty-nine specified sectors where collective agreements are extended by decree (authorized by Quebec's labor law) to all firms in the sector. Thirteen are province-wide in scope, and sixteen are regional or cover the Montreal metropolitan area. Firms in the sector are covered by the agreement regardless of unionization status, and whether or not they engaged in bargaining over the agreement. These extended agreements are supervised by "parity committees" with representatives of unions and employer associations signatory to the collective agreements. They cover more than 125,000 Quebec workers in such sectors as garment manufacturing, automobile repairs, building maintenance and private security agencies." a union perspective suggests that this law, coupled with a strong family-based social structure and a highher than average real minimum wage are probably contributing factors.
