Why it matters
A labour arbitration between Windsor Regional Hospital and Ontario Nurses' Association, on the issue of management rights medical notes. The arbitrator was George Surdykowski. 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.
