WHEREAS municipalities and police services boards continue to struggle with the escalating costs of police services, and increases in wages and benefits in the emergency services sector continue to exceed those of other public sector employees; and
WHEREAS interest arbitration is mandated by statute as a means of concluding a collective agreement for essential services when the parties are unable to reach a settlement through collective bargaining; and
WHEREAS the interest arbitration system lacks accountability and transparency because arbitrators are not required to demonstrate how their awards reflect any criteria in considering "ability to pay", and arbitration awards do not contain any consideration of the impact of increases in wages and benefits on a community's property taxes; and
WHEREAS the Emergency Services Steering Committee (ESSC) and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) have developed a package of legislative changes that would bring more accountability and transparency to the arbitrators’ decision-making process;
