Abstract

Both Parties are currently in negotiation for a new Collective Agreement. The Union has requested an Arbitrator in order to obtain a clarification and statement of intention pertaining to a clause in an expired Agreement. This clause relates to the comparative rates of pay for firefighters and policemen. The Employer argues that the Arbitrator does not have jurisdiction to rule on the Parties' intent and objects to admissibility of any intrinsic evidence for clarification.
