On May 10, 2012, Nova Scotia proposed Bill 89 setting rules for resolving collective bargaining disputes in health and community care. The punchline: The bill would replace employees’ right to strike and employers’ right to lock out with right of both to engage in “interest arbitration.” Initially, the sides would try to work out a deal via a conciliation officer. If that fails, either side could bring the dispute to interest arbitration for immediate resolution that’s fair to both sides and in the public’s best interest. If passed, the new rules would take effect on Jan. 1, 2013.
