Status quo among fragmentation and consolidation: Public dispute resolution agencies in Ontario, Canada
Dionne Pohler, Bradley R. Weinberg- Industrial relations
Abstract
We explore changes in the Ontario Labour Relations Board and the Ministry of Labour's Dispute Resolution Services over time. The core purpose of these public dispute resolution agencies in Canada has not changed since their creation, even amidst legislative fragmentation and consolidation, different governing parties, periods of public sector austerity, changing patterns of unionization and evolving court decisions.
