In some Canadian jurisdictions, if an employer violates unfair labour practices during the organizing process, labour relations boards may impose a union on the employer even if only 5 percent of employees sign authorization cards. This is done to protect employees from being intimidated or discriminated against by the employer for trying to form a union. However, the need for government for labour relations peace or advice from the International Labour Office are not sufficient conditions for imposing a union on an employer. Similarly, threats by other unions to go on strike may not be a valid reason for imposing a union on an employer.
