Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from MacDonalds Consolidated Ltd. v. Saskatchewan Joint Board, Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union and Dickinson, 1988 CanLII 5135 (SK QB):
Having stated this, it is also clear that the board cannot re-write the agreement for the parties. The interpretation given to the agreement by the board, must not be inconsistent with it. See: University Hospital v. Service Employees International Union, Local 333 Ü.H. (1986), 1986 CanLII 2911 (SK CA), 46 Sask. R. 19; 86 C.L.L.C. 12,368.
