The Labour Relations Board hearing schedule includes hearings, mediations, and settlement conferences.

How the Board conducts hearings
While hearing schedules are regularly updated, hearing dates and/or times can change at the last minute. Before you come to watch a hearing, you can contact the Board to make sure it is going ahead as scheduled.
Only the parties participating in the hearing can speak at a hearing before the Board or have access to documents. If you are not a party and believe you should be allowed to participate in the hearing, you must apply to the Board for standing to participate.
The Vice-Chair controls the hearing process. If any person is disruptive during a hearing, the Vice-Chair may require that person to leave or may stop the hearing.
Hearings are generally not recorded, and no one is permitted to record a hearing, or any part of it, without asking for and receiving the permission of the Vice-Chair.
The Board may hold a hearing in person, by teleconference, or videoconference. If you would like to attend a hearing, contact us to request the meeting details. In your email, include the case number of the hearing you would like to attend.
