Acknowledgments

There is a community of dedicated and thoughtful people concerned

with the employment and labour law governing Ontario’s public service

and designated Crown agencies. It is our hope that this book will be

useful to them. Quite a few members of this community have contrib-

uted in one way or another, and the authors are very grateful to them.

This is a second edition. While it has been substantially rewrit-

ten, there is still a huge debt owed to the legion of people previously

acknowledged. We thank all of them again.

In this edition, several people were prepared to invest some of

their considerable expertise in much appreciated written contributions

on particular topics: Cynthia Crysler of Cavalluzzo LLP (OPS pen-

sions); Katherine Ferreria of Koskie Minsky LLP (occupational health

and safety); Ian Roland of Paliare Roland Rosenberg Rothstein LLP

(Ontario Provincial Police); and Cameron Walker, retired Senior Nego-

tiator, Ontario Public Service Employees Union (job security under the

OPSEU/MBC collective agreements).

Among others, the following people helped in other valuable ways,

including, in some cases, providing very helpful comments on part of

the manuscript:

• Kevin Banks

• Tim Bartkiw

• Sara Blake

• Paul Cavalluzzo

• Ian Colvin
