Does Local 183 have an arbitration agreement?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Universal Workers Union (Labourers' International Union of North America, Local 183) v. Ferreira, 2009 ONCA 155 (CanLII):
As previously mentioned, the applications judge held that when the appellants became members of the union, they became bound by the Local Constitution and a relationship in the nature of a contract arose between the member and Local 183. I agree: see Berry v. Pulley, at para. 48. However, I do not agree that the Local Constitution contains an arbitration agreement as that term is defined in the Arbitration Act.
