Why it matters

A labour arbitration between AEP Canada Inc. and United Steel, Paper And Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial And Service Workers International Union, on the issue of vacation entitlement. The arbitrator was Paul Craven. For a student, it is an example of how Ontario's grievance arbitration system resolves disputes under a collective agreement: a neutral arbitrator interprets the agreement and issues a binding award, the everyday machinery of Canadian labour law.
