Ga is also referred to as rights arbitration to distinguish it from interest arbitration. Rights arbitration is concerned with the rights of the employer, the individual, and the union that arise from the interpretation, application, or administration of the collective agreement. These rights include the right of the employee to be treated fairly, the right of the union to act as an employee"s representative, and the right of the employer to exercise control over its operations. Often the central issue in grievances is to determine which of these rights are more important in a specific situation.
