An application alleging ‘bad faith bargaining’ has been filed with the Ontario Labour Relations Board (OLRB), concerning a labour dispute at Titan Tool and Die in Windsor, Ontario. The application was reported on May 7, 2026, by Rob Hindi of WindsorNews.
Background of the Case
The dispute centers on allegations that the company engaged in unfair labour practices during collective bargaining negotiations. Signs were seen at Titan Tool and Die on Nov. 10, 2025, indicating ongoing tensions between management and workers. The OLRB will now review the evidence and determine whether the company violated the Labour Relations Act.
Implications for Workers
If the board finds in favour of the applicants, it could order the company to return to the bargaining table and negotiate in good faith. This case highlights broader concerns about labour rights in the manufacturing sector, particularly in Windsor, a city with a strong industrial base.
The outcome of this application may set a precedent for similar disputes across Ontario. Labour advocates are closely watching the proceedings, as they could influence future collective bargaining practices.
