Is mediation a component of other labour board applications?
The Labour Relations Board prefers parties resolve their differences between them. Depending on the type of application filed with the Board, a Board officer may meet with the parties to discuss settling the issue. The Board may also appoint one of its members to mediate between the parties. Finally, the Board s Chair or one of its Vice-Chairs may hold a resolution conference. If these dispute resolution efforts are unsuccessful, the matter may then proceed to hearing. Urgent matters are normally sent to an immediate hearing.
