Why it matters
A labour arbitration between Enbridge Inc (Enbridge Gas Distribution) and Unifor Local 975, on the issue of termination of employment. The arbitrator was Mary Ellen Cummings. 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.
