For the first time CAMH/L500 did not reach a collective agreement at the table, and will move to arbitration.

The impasse was definitely due to the plans of the employer to create the maximum amount of upheaval in our workplace.

Proposals on the table included contracting out of support services (specifically environmental services), elimination of research positions.

Please see the CAMH Notice of Reliance on Strict Legal Rights for the impact to bargaining unit members.
