Why it matters
A labour arbitration between MacKenzie Health and Ontario Public Service Employees Union on behalf of its Local 289, on the issue of written warning termination of employment. The arbitrator was Barry Stephens. 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.
