Why it matters
A labour arbitration between Lear Corp and Unifor and its Local 1524, on the issue of benefits short term disability. The arbitrator was Ian Hunter. 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.
