The distinguishing features of the Canadian industrial relations system for research purposes are its fragmentation, its extensive legal regulation, and its pattern of strikes. Research needs should be based on this description of Canadian industrial relations, including the environment of the system, the major actors within the system, the processes of industrial relations, and the results of negotiation. Specific gaps in industrial relations research occur with regard to: 1. the treatment of regionalism or regional variables, 2. managerial policies and their determinants, 3. the theoretical bases of strikes, including noneconomic variables, interindustry variations, strike length, and mid-contract strikes, and 4. day-to-day relations among employees, management, and the union in the workplace. Greater attention to Canadian issues and closer integration with cognate disciplines will focus research efforts more effectively.

Courts in Ontario have been increasingly willing to quash grievance arbitration awards. This article analyses the services of this conflict between the judiciary and arbitrators, the role the courts have assumed because of the compulsory use of arbitration, and the judges' reliance on precedent established British commercial arbitration. Most Ontario cases have involved one of four issues — evidence of intent, procedural violations of grievance clauses, disciplinary penalties, and denial of natural justice. In the first three areas especially, the courts have favoured narrow interpretations of collective agreements, limiting arbitrators' jurisdiction. This problem illustrates the difficulty in attempting to legislate a complex institution like grievance arbitration based on foreign experience, i.e. the United States.
