Why it matters
A labour arbitration between Kinark Child And Family Services and Ontario Public Service Employees Union on behalf of its Local 355, on the issue of transfer. The arbitrator was Matthew Wilson. 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.
