Mediation Report on Labour Dispute Available Online

The report of the independent mediator, John Roil, QC, on the labour dispute between DJ Composites and Unifor Local 597 can be viewed online at www.aesl.gov.nl.ca/labour/union

The Honourable Al Hawkins, Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Labour, appointed Mr. Roil in October to help facilitate a resolution between the parties. Minister Hawkins received the mediator’s report which was then reviewed by the department and provided to both Unifor and DJ Composites.

Quote
“Conciliation services in this matter were provided by the department beginning in August 2016. The appointment of Mr. Roil was an additional effort to resolve the dispute. It is unfortunate that a resolution was not reached. As committed previously, the report of the mediator is now available to the public. We continue to monitor the situation and the parties have been advised that our services remain available to them if they wish to use them.”
Honourable Al Hawkins
Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Labour
