Timothy J. Bartkiw is an Associate Professor at Toronto Metropolitan University with dual appointments in the Lincoln Alexander School of Law and the Ted Rogers School of Management (Department of Human Resources and Organizational Behaviour). A member of the Bar of Ontario, he previously practiced exclusively in labour and employment law, bringing practical legal experience to his academic work focused on workplace regulation and industrial relations.
His educational background spans law and economics:
- Ph.D. (Doctor of Public Policy) from Carleton University (2005)
- LLM (Master of Laws) from Osgoode Hall Law School, York University (2014)
- MA (Economics) from University of Toronto (1997)
- LLB (Bachelor of Laws) from Osgoode Hall Law School (1994)
- BA (Economics) from Wilfrid Laurier University (1991)
- Bar Admission from Law Society of Upper Canada (1995)
Bartkiw's research centers on labour and employment law policy with emphasis on precarious work regulation, triangular employment relationships, and collective bargaining frameworks. His scholarship critically examines how legal structures impact non-standard work arrangements, unionization efforts, and Charter-based labour policy challenges, particularly in Canadian contexts involving temporary help agencies and homecare sectors.
His publication record reveals consistent focus on regulatory gaps in evolving labour markets, analyzing jurisdictional differences in triangular employment models and union strategies for organizing fragmented workforces. This body of work demonstrates significant contributions to understanding intersections between legal frameworks, economic pressures, and worker protections across Canadian and comparative settings.

Bartkiw actively influences policy through expert advisory roles, including authoring the foundational expert report for Ontario's Changing Workplaces Review labour law reforms. As co-editor of the prominent Labour Law Casebook and director of the Ryerson Centre for Labour Management Relations, he bridges academic research with practical workplace relations discourse, facilitating scholarly-practitioner collaboration on contemporary labour challenges.
His leadership of the Ryerson Centre for Labour Management Relations establishes a dedicated hub for advancing research on employer-employee dynamics, fostering evidence-based dialogue among academics, unions, employers, and policymakers addressing modern workplace governance issues.
