EXPLANATORY NOTE NOTE EXPLICATIVE

The Bill enacts the School Boards Collective Bargaining Act,2013. The Act establishes a framework for two-tiered bargain-ing for collective agreements between school boards and theiremployees. Here are some highlights of the Act.

Le projet de loi dicte laLoi de 2013 sur la ngociation collec-tive dans les conseils scolaires. La Loi cre un cadre permettantlinstauration dun systme deux paliers pour la ngociationdes conventions collectives entre les conseils scolaires et leursemploys. En voici quelques faits saillants.

In general terms, theLabour Relations Act, 1995 governs collec-tive bargaining within the framework established by the newAct. (See section 4 of the Act.) The new Act may be enforcedas if it formed part of that Act. (See section 43 of the Act.)Expressions used in the new Act relating to collective bargain-ing have the same meaning as in theLabour Relations Act, 1995and expressions relating to education and the school systemhave the same meaning as in theEducation Act.

De faon gnrale, la Loi de 1995 sur les relations de travailrgit la ngociation collective dans le cadre tabli par la nouvelleloi. (Voir larticle 4 de la Loi.) La nouvelle loi peut tre excutecomme si elle faisait partie de cette loi. (Voir larticle 43 de laLoi.) Les expressions utilises dans la nouvelle loi en ce qui atrait la ngociation collective sentendent au sens de la Loi de1995 sur les relations de travailet les expressions ayant trait lducation et au systme scolaire sentendent au sens de la Loi

sur lducation.

The Act applies to every school board in Ontario, to the bargain-ing agents that represent their employees, to the employeesthemselves, and to the employer bargaining agencies and em-

ployee bargaining agencies that are designated for the purposesof central bargaining. (See section 3 of the Act.) The expres-sion school board, as defined in subsection 2 (1) of the Act,refers to district school boards, school authorities and the Pro-

vincial Schools Authority, unless the context requires otherwise.

La Loi sapplique tous les conseils scolaires en Ontario, auxagents ngociateurs qui reprsentent les employs de ces con-seils scolaires et aux employs eux-mmes, ainsi quaux orga-nismes ngociateurs patronaux et organismes ngociateurs syn-dicaux dsigns aux fins de la ngociation centrale. (Voirlarticle 3 de la Loi.) Sauf indication contraire du contexte,lexpression conseil scolaire, dfinie au paragraphe 2 (1) de la

Loi, dsigne les conseils scolaires de district, les administrationsscolaires et lAdministration des coles provinciales.

Sections 5 to 11 of the Act provide for bargaining units andbargaining agents. For teachers, the bargaining units and bar-gaining agents are as specified in sections 9 and 10 of the Act.(Currently, those bargaining units and bargaining agents arespecified in Part X.1 of the Education Actand in theProvincialSchools Negotiations Act.) For school board employees who arenot teachers, the bargaining units and bargaining agents are asdetermined under theLabour Relations Act, 1995. (See sections7 and 11 of the Act.)

Les articles 5 11 de la Loi traitent des units de ngociation etdes agents ngociateurs. Pour les enseignants, les units de n-gociation et les agents ngociateurs sont prciss aux articles 9et 10 de la Loi. ( lheure actuelle, ces units de ngociation etagents ngociateurs sont prciss dans la partie X.1 de laLoi surlducation et dans laLoi sur la ngociation collective dans lescoles provinciales.) Pour les employs de conseils scolaires quine sont pas enseignants, les units de ngociation et les agentsngociateurs sont tablis en vertu de laLoi de 1995 sur les rela-tions de travail. (Voir les articles 7 et 11 de la Loi.)

Sections 12 to 22 of the Act set out the framework for centraland local bargaining. Under subsection 12 (2) of the Act, cen-tral bargaining is mandatory if a central table is established un-der the Act for specified school boards and specified bargaining

units.

Les articles 12 22 de la Loi tablissent le cadre servant langociation centrale et locale. En application du paragraphe 12(2) de la Loi, la ngociation centrale est obligatoire si une tablecentrale est tablie en vertu de la Loi pour des conseils scolaires

et des units de ngociation dtermins.For bargaining at a central table, the parties are an employer

bargaining agency and an employee bargaining agency. Forlocal bargaining, the parties are a school board and a bargainingagent. The Crown is entitled to participate in central bargaining

but not in local bargaining.

Pour la ngociation une table centrale, les parties sontlorganisme ngociateur patronal et lorganisme ngociateursyndical concerns. Pour la ngociation locale, les parties sont leconseil scolaire et lagent ngociateur concerns. La Couronne ale droit de participer la ngociation centrale mais pas la n-gociation locale.

The rights, privileges and duties of employer bargaining agen-cies, employee bargaining agencies and the Crown in connection

ith central bargaining are set out in sections 15 to 18 of theAct. An employer bargaining agency cannot exercise specifiedrights and privileges under the Labour Relations Act, 1995 un-less it has the prior consent of the Crown to do so. (See subsec-tion 15 (2) of the Act. See also subsections 34 (4), 41 (1), 42 (3)and 44 (2) of the Act.)

Les droits, privilges et obligations des organismes ngociateurspatronaux, des organismes ngociateurs syndicaux et de la Cou-ronne dans le cadre de la ngociation centrale sont noncs auxarticles 15 18 de la Loi. Un organisme ngociateur patronal ne

peut exercer certains droits et privilges dtermins confrs parlaLoi de 1995 sur les relations de travailquavec le consente-ment pralable de la Couronne. (Voir le paragraphe 15 (2) de laLoi. Voir galement les paragraphes 34 (4), 41 (1), 42 (3) et 44(2) de la Loi.)

The employee bargaining agencies for teachers are designated insection 19 of the Act. For other employees, the Minister is au-thorized to designate employee bargaining agencies. (See sec-tion 20 of the Act.) A council of trade unions may be designatedas an employee bargaining agency in specified circumstances.

Les organismes ngociateurs syndicaux pour les enseignantssont dsigns larticle 19 de la Loi. Pour les autres employs,le ministre est autoris dsigner des organismes ngociateurssyndicaux. (Voir larticle 20 de la Loi.) Un conseil de syndicats

peut tre dsign comme organisme ngociateur syndical dansdes circonstances dtermines.

The employer bargaining agencies for school boards are desig-nated in subsection 21 (1) of the Act. In specified circum-stances, a council of trustees associations may be designated asan employer bargaining agency. Under section 22 of the Act, acommittee may be established by the Lieutenant Governor inCouncil to exercise the rights and privileges and perform theduties of a designated employer bargaining agency if, in the

Les organismes ngociateurs patronaux pour les conseils sco-laires sont dsigns au paragraphe 21 (1) de la Loi. Dans descirconstances dtermines, un conseil dassociations dem-

Ministers opinion, the agency is unable or unwilling to exercisethose rights and privileges or perform those duties.

sacquitter des obligations de celui-ci si, de lavis du ministre,lorganisme ne peut pas ou ne veut pas le faire.

Section 23 of the Act provides for the establishment of centraltables. Central tables are established in the Act for teachers

bargaining units. The Minister is authorized to establish othercentral tables. A central table cannot have more than one em-

ployer bargaining agency or more than one employee bargainingagency.

Larticle 23 de la Loi traite de ltablissement de tables c en-trales. Des tables centrales sont tablies dans la Loi pour lesunits de ngociation denseignants. Le ministre est autoris entablir dautres. Une table centrale ne peut pas compter plusdun organisme ngociateur patronal ou plus dun organismengociateur syndical.

Sections 24 to 28 of the Act govern the scope of central andlocal bargaining.

Les articles 24 28 de la Loi rgissent le champ de la ngocia-tion centrale et locale.

Under subsection 24 (1) of the Act, the scope of central bargain-ing at a central table shall be bargained by the parties at the tableand the Crown. Certain restrictions apply. The Crown is per-mitted to reserve a matter for a central table on the basis that, inthe Ministers opinion, the matter could result in a signi ficantimpact either on the implementation of provincial education

policy or on expenditures for one or more school boards. (Seesubsection 24 (2) of the Act.) If the parties and the Crown donot agree upon the matters to be included within the scope ofcentral bargaining at a central table, any of them may apply tothe Ontario Labour Relations Board to decide the issue. (Seesubsection 28 (2) of the Act.)

En vertu du paragraphe 24 (1) de la Loi, le champ de la ngocia-tion centrale une table centrale est ngoci par les parties latable et la Couronne, sous rserve de certaines restrictions. LaCouronne peut rserver une question pour une table centrale si leministre est davis que la question pourrait avoir un effet impor-tant sur la mise en oeuvre dune politique provinciale en matiredducation ou sur les dpenses dun ou plusieurs conseils sco-laires. (Voir le paragraphe 24 (2) de la Loi.) Si les parties et laCouronne ne sentendent pas sur les questions inclure dans lechamp de la ngociation centrale une table centrale, toute par-tie ou la Couronne peut demander la Commission des relationsde travail de lOntario de trancher le litige. (Voir le paragraphe28 (2) de la Loi.)

Sections 29 to 38 of the Act contain several of the modificationsto theLabour Relations Act, 1995 that apply in connection withcentral and local bargaining under the new Act. For example,the date for giving notice to bargain may be advanced by regula-tion. (See subsection 31 (5) of the Act.) Section 34 of the Actspecifies modifications relating to strikes and lock-outs. Section38 specifies that, if both central and local bargaining occur, amemorandum of settlement of the central terms must be ratified

by the parties at the central table and the Crown, and a memo-randum of settlement of the local terms must be ratified by the

parties to the local bargaining.

Les articles 29 38 de la Loi contiennent plusieurs des adapta-tions la Loi de 1995 sur les relations de travail quisappliquent dans le cadre de la ngociation centrale et locale envertu de la nouvelle loi. Par exemple, la date pour donner unavis dintention de ngocier peut tre avance par rglement.(Voir le paragraphe 31 (5) de la Loi.) Larticle 34 de la Loi pr-cise les adaptations relatives aux grves et aux lock-out.Larticle 38 prcise que si la fois une ngociation centrale etune ngociation locale ont lieu, un protocole daccord sur lesconditions ngocies centralement doit tre ratifi par les parties la table centrale et la Couronne, et un protocole daccord surles conditions ngocies localement doit tre ratifi par les par-ties la ngociation locale.

Sections 39 to 42 of the Act govern collective agreements. Theparties to a collective agreement are the school board and thebargaining agent. If both central and local bargaining occur, thecollective agreement includes the central terms and the localterms. (See section 39 of the Act.) If a collective agreementcontains central terms, the parties who were at the central tablemay, with the consent of the Crown, settle a difference regardingthe interpretation of those terms. (See section 42 of the Act.)

Les articles 39 42 de la Loi rgissent les conventions collec-tives. Les parties une convention collective sont le conseilscolaire et lagent ngociateur. Si la fois une ngociation cen-trale et une ngociation locale ont lieu, la convention collectivecomprend les conditions ngocies centralement et celles ngo-cies localement. (Voir larticle 39 de la Loi.) Si une conventioncollective comprend des conditions ngocies centralement, les

parties qui taient la table centrale peuvent, avec le consente-ment de la Couronne, rgler un diffrend propos delinterprtation de ces conditions. (Voir larticle 42 de la Loi.)

Sections 46 to 53 of the Act set out consequential amendmentsto several other Acts. Part X.1 (Teachers Collective Bargain-ing) of theEducation Actis repealed. The short title of thePro-vincial Schools Negotiations Actis also changed: it becomes the

Provincial Schools Authority Act.
