What is the test for an interest award?

9. Both parties referred to a recent award I wrote (Diageo Canada v. UFCW, Local 832, 2016 CarswellMan 339, 2016 CanLII 62698 (MBLA)). In that award I said, relying on many previous awards written by many arbitrators (at paras. 9, 10, 12, 15): In brief, an interest arbitrator should strive to achieve a result which will replicate, as closely as possible, the result that would have occurred had collective bargaining been successful…in attempting to replicate what the parties would have done, arbitrators are to look to objective data and evidence…while the arbitrator is not to impose his or her personal view of what is fair, the award should nevertheless be based on objective standards of fairness and reasonableness…factors that may be considered include the historical bargaining pattern, applicable internal and external comparators…economic trends, and the prevailing economic context.
