Labour Relations
The Ministry of Labour promotes a stable and constructive labour
relations climate and fosters productive workplace relationships
in Ontario. The Ministry’s labour relations activities focus
on settling workplace disputes under various employment-related
statutes, assisting in the settlement of collective agreements and
producing collective bargaining information.
Dispute Resolution Services provides neutral third party assistance to trade
unions and employers through collective agreement conciliation and mediation,
the appointment of arbitrators, and the provision of timely and neutral
collective bargaining information. These services are provided by:
- Arbitration Services
- Mediation Services
- Collective Bargaining Information Services (CBIS)
Mediation Services aims to foster harmonious labour relations and to minimize disruption in the workplace arising from strikes and lockouts. The service provides conciliation and mediation services in order to assist the parties in bargaining collective agreements. The service also provides an Interactive Solutions program to assist the parties in improving their relationship and to provide an awareness of best practices.
CBIS services include the collection, analysis and distribution of information
on the province's 9,500 collective bargaining relationships.
