In late 2009, Corporate Research Associates, an independent business research group based in Nova Scotia, conducted a survey of NLEC members to study the effects of Employment Insurance and Workers Compensation on the workplace.

The NLEC recently revisited these results in media coverage surrounding our workshop “Navigating the EI System”, and the facts are continuing to create a buzz in the media.

Check out this recent Meeker on Media Blog on the “EI Conundrum” – challenging Federation of Labour President Lana Payne’s response to the issue, and providing examples of the frustration of employers and the general public with the current EI system.
