The applicant union sought judicial review of an arbitrator's decision denying a grievance over the termination of retiree benefits following a plant closure.
The arbitrator found that the employer had the right to terminate the benefits because the collective agreement incorporated an insurance master contract containing a minimum participation provision, which was no longer met.
The Divisional Court applied the reasonableness standard of review and concluded that the arbitrator's decision was defensible in respect of the facts and the law.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
