Why it matters

A labour arbitration between Canadian Mental Health Association, Thames Valley Addiction and Mental Health Services and Ontario Public Service Employees Union on behalf of its Local 133, on the issue of classification. The arbitrator was N/A N/A. 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.
