Ontario Labour Relations Board

The Ontario Labour Relations Board (OLRB) is an independent tribunal that resolves disputes between employers, employees, and unions in Ontario. It oversees matters related to union certification, collective bargaining, and unfair labor practices. The OLRB helps ensure that labor relations are conducted fairly and in accordance with Ontario’s labor laws. When disagreements arise—such as disputes over union recognition or unfair dismissals—the board hears cases and makes legally binding decisions to maintain a balanced and lawful workplace environment.
