Labour-Management Partnerships Program

The Labour Management Partnership Program is a contribution program administered by the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. The program supports projects from employers and unions, who fall under the jurisdiction of the Canada Labour Code. These projects must promote innovative workplace practices and cooperative approaches designed to build and maintain constructive working relationships.

Projects are submitted jointly by unions and employers or by organizations representing the interests of both parties.

Projects are assessed against specific program criteria and priorities which emphasize:

  • Preventive mediation for organizations that are facing particularly challenging collective agreement negotiations and that could benefit from third-party support.
  • New knowledge and its application to the joint development of new approaches to work and work-related issues.
  • Ensuring that funded projects are innovative and help foster positive labour-management relations. These projects must also have the potential to provide practical results, such as information or tools (for example, a report, video or course module) that will be useful for other workplaces.
  • Consideration is given to the soundness of the project plan for achieving the desired result, the nature of the methodology used, the appropriateness of the proposed time frame and budget, and the proposed information communication and dissemination plan.

Funding is available to a maximum of $100,000 per project, over a period not exceeding two years (24 months). LMPP funding covers up to one-half of the costs associated with the project.

Funds are not available for activities which represent the ongoing operations, business plans for an organization, or business start-ups.
