Why it matters

A labour arbitration between Hydro One Inc. and Power Workers' Union, on the issue of bargaining unit work. The arbitrator was John Stout. 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.
