On August 8th, a binding decision on the grievance filed by a former staffer against Ontario MPP Michael Mantha and the Ontario NDP Caucus was issued, by an arbitrator acting under the legal authority of the Labour Relations Act, 1995. In this binding decision, arbitrator Jasbir Parmar ruled that despite the arguments of the Ontario NDP, the former staffer’s employment had not been terminated for just cause, and that the Ontario NDP would be required to come to binding agreement with the aggrieved former staffer on remedy.
