NAV CANADA Announces IBEW Arbitration Award
OTTAWA, April 21 /CNW/ - NAV CANADA announced today the successful
conclusion of collective bargaining with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, IBEW Local 2228, the company's third largest union, representing electronics technologists, installation technicians, electronics maintenance specialists, technical operations coordinators, and instructors. This binding settlement came by way of interest arbitration, through an award issued by a tri-partite board, chaired by Kenneth Swan, Arbitrator.
