Limited geographic scope
I don't think this article has a limited geographic scope because the Rand Formula is only supposed to be about Canada. It is not pretending to represent the entire world of labour laws, only Canada's. Martin-C (talk) 03:44, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Plan to add section, Reception
The Rand Formula has been implemented in a variety of legal contexts and although interpreted by its critics as binding businesses to violate the free choice of their employees, and as having a negative effect in that it limits individual choice on whether or not to pay union dues in a manner incompatible with market economies it has been generally well received. The positive reception of the Rand formula came mostly from unions and their allies with conservative Canadians voicing the most opposition. The rationale for the Rand formula being stated as “unions are service providers entitled to appropriate compensation for the services they provide” demonstrating that the Rand formula was viewed by the judiciary as a reasonable limit on personal economic freedom in a free market economy such as Canada's. The Formula was largely perceived by businesses and individuals in Canada as a compromise between the extremes of mandatory union membership and universal non-unionism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bidmap (talk • contribs) 06:16, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
