The Canadian Joint Grievance Panel

Why CJGP?

The Canadian Joint Grievance Panel is about cutting through the bureacracy of grievance resolution to find the objective solution, without wasting time or money.

About the Canadian Joint Grievance Panel

The CJGP can offer a time efficient and cost effective alternative to traditional arbitration. In a CJGP hearing the grievor and supervisor are directly involved, grievances are heard based on their own merit and a final and binding decision is given. Experienced labour representatives serve as panelists and outside legal counsel are not involved, ensuring that the results represent only the facts.
