The delay that's involved in workers getting their cases to arbitration is just atrocious. I find it remarkable that at 5:30 on Monday morning, the Toronto Transit Commission was able to get access to the labour board and get a ruling that the disruption was against the law. I have nothing against that quick access to justice, but it seems that only exists for employers and not for workers. So it's important to get quick access for both parties in the workplace.
The issue is whether the tribunal is a better entity as opposed to the existing labour boards. I think the issue is really going to be one of resources. If the new tribunal is not given the resources, there will be a backlog as well; and if the existing boards are given the appropriate resources, they will be able to deal with the backlogs.
