What happened to PC1003 (Wartime Labour Relations Regulations) after WW II?

Once the emergency situation was over the wartime legislation was extended to 1948. A conference of labour ministers from the provinces came to agreement on fundamental principles to be covered by provincial legislation to ensure a kind of national policy. The principles included

• freedom of association;
• recognition of unions;
• certification of unions, to establish the right to bargain collectively;
• state intervention in the right to strike and lockout;
• outlawing of unfair labour practices by employers and unions;
• creation and maintenance of investigative tools to support the collective bargaining system.

The federal Industrial Disputes and Investigation Act was passed in 1948 to apply to employees in federal jurisdiction. The majority of provinces then followed suit and passed their own versions of the Act.
