Labour Relations Board of Nova Scotia implements first contract between IATSE Local 849 and Egg Films
I.A.T.S.E., CANADIAN OFFICE: In March of 2009, Local 849 certified Egg Films, the largest producer of commercials in Atlantic Canada. In the two and a half years that followed, the two parties met several times but were unable to reach an agreement. Because the province recently had enacted first contract arbitration, the Labour Board of Nova Scotia was obliged to impose a first collective agreement - the first time that first contract arbitration had ever been employed by the Board. A one-year contract was presented to IATSE Local 849 and Egg Films on September 19th, heralding the end of what was a long and difficult process.

This was interesting to read about, but I didn't feel that it gave a lot of information about the situation that was going on there or what the end agreement was. I guess the real gist of the article was about how the Labour Relations Board of Nova Scotia actually made the agreement and contract between 849 and Egg Films, which is slightly irrecgular, at least in my understanding. I wonder how this will effect labor union negotiations in the future? Does this now allow the Releations Board to make these kinds of decisions? We'll see.
