Why it matters

A labour arbitration between Université de Hearst and Association des professeur-e-s d’université de Hearst, on the issue of job evaluation. The arbitrator was Geneviève Debané. 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.
