Labour Relations

The Ontario Labour Relations Board (OLRB) is responsible for oversight of the interactions of unionized employees with their employers. The Board also has jurisdiction in Occupational Health & Safety, Employment Standards, and a limited role under several other statutes. The section called "Does Your Concern Fall Under the Board" on the OLRB web site will help you decide if your issue/question should be brought to the Board.
