• What is the purpose of arbitration?
• Do I need an arbitrator?
• What is the role of the Labour Relations Board, and how does the Labour Relations Code apply to procedures?
• Should my company include an arbitration clause in future agreements?

• How do I conduct the interview process? How should I collect, preserve and handle information and evidence to make my findings?
• What should I expect at grievance meetings, and what is the role of the Union?
• How do I use legal counsel effectively in the arbitration process?
