OCADU/OCADFA ARBITRATION UPDATE
Message from Bill Leeming, OCADFA Negotiations Chair
OCADFA and the University have submitted their arbitration briefs and been heard by Mr. William Kaplan. The hearing was conducted throughout the day on Sunday, February 26. Our expectation is that Mr. Kaplan will pass down his Award within the next two weeks. The Award will be legally binding on both parties with no recourse to appeal.
Once I have it, I will send on the Award to you along with an executive summary of its rulings. I will then ask Sandra Altwerger, OCADFA President, to call a meeting of the Membership to review the Award and discuss implications for our next round of bargaining.
At this time, I wish to express my sincere thanks to the Members of the Negotiations Committee who have all worked extremely hard to represent their constituents in what have been 17 months of intensely \\\\\\\"hard\\\\\\\" bargaining in very tough financial times: Hugh Alcock, Lisa Allen, Frederick Burbach, Derek Mullin, Natalie Waldburger, Ron Wood, and Sandra Altwerger (ex officio). I also want thank our legal counsel, Cathy Lace, and our financial analyst and economist, Hugh Mckenzie, for their brilliant work for us. Finally, I want to thank Connie Reid for all the archival work that she assisted the team with.
With best regards,
Bill Leeming,
OCADFA Negotiations Chair
