Press Release (ePRNews.com) - 500 Queens Quay W#109W Toronto, ON M5V 3K8 - Jul 16, 2025 - A lot can be at stake in a labour arbitration, as arbitration awards can sometimes cost the losing party multiple dollars, depending on the nature of the dispute. At Hyde HR Law, they have experienced labour attorneys that employers can count on to provide strong and specialized representation in their labour arbitrations. They have built lasting relationships with private and public sector employers across Ontario by providing reliable, innovative labour law solutions.
Answering a query, the company spokesperson said, “In labour law, except for in very limited circumstances, a unionized employee does not have a right to pursue their own case. That right belongs exclusively to the union. In fact, the union has a statutory obligation to represent its unionized employees, often called bargaining unit employees, to the best of its ability. This is also referred to as the duty of fair representation, and it requires the union to represent its members fairly, in a manner which is not discriminatory, arbitrary, or in bad faith.”
With years of experience in practice, the labour lawyer at Hyde HR Law understands the business and personal impact of labour disputes and works to preserve the relationship between the union, employer, and employee as much as possible. When conflicts proceed to arbitration, they take swift and decisive action to preserve the employer’s options under the collective agreement and prevent workplace disruption. So far, they have helped hundreds of clients resolve union grievances, contest policies, or negotiate new collective agreements through arbitration. In addition to that, the attorneys have also represented employers before the Ontario Labour Relations Board and the Canada Industrial Relations Board.
The company spokesperson added, “In fact, the courts have held that unionized employees do not have a private right to sue an employer. And where a dispute arises out of a collective agreement, the matter must be decided exclusively by an arbitrator, not a court. Labour law legislation also makes this very clear. For more insights, clients can contact us.”
Furthermore, with some of the attorneys having some pre-law background in human resources management, journalism, and other industries, this provides them with the unique opportunity to help clients in the formulation of various practical legal solutions, specifically tailored to their needs. And with the law firm’s founder, John Hyde, being among the only 17 lawyers in Canada certified as a Specialist in Labour Law by the Law Society of Ontario, clients can count on Hyde HR Law to offer them the effective representation that they expect in today’s marketplace. So, reach out to the law firm’s labour lawyer Canada today and be represented in all labour law matters.
