Why it matters
A labour arbitration between Health Sciences North (formerly known as Sudbury Regional Hospital) and Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 1623, on the issue of termination of employment. The arbitrator was Russell Goodfellow. 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.
