Special mediator appointed for Hudson’s Bay labour dispute in Kamloops, B.C.

by HR Law Canada

A special mediator has been appointed in British Columbia to deal with an ongoing labour dispute between unionized workers and the Hudson’s Bay Company.

Harry Bains, the province’s Minister of Labour, appointed David Schaub as the mediator to help resolve issues between the company and its workers in Kamloops, represented by United Steelworkers Local 1-417.

“Schaub is a highly regarded mediator in the labour, business and public-sector communities. His role will be to help the parties end the labour dispute,” the province said in a press release.

Schaub will work with the parties for up to 14 days to secure a resolution to the ongoing strike, it said. If a settlement cannot be reached within this timeline, he will issue recommendations to end the dispute with both parties having five days to either accept or reject those recommendations.

Under the Labour Relations Code, a special mediator assists in settling the terms of a collective agreement and reports back to the minister responsible.
