Within 40 teaching days of the event giving rise to a dispute respecting an alleged violation of this agreement or respecting the content, meaning or application of the agreement (including a dispute as to whether or not the matter upon which the arbitration has been sought comes within the scope of the agreement), a party hereto, after exhausting any grievance procedure established hereby, if the dispute is not settled within ten (10) days, may notify the other party in writing of its desire to submit the dispute to arbitration.
Where a party gives notice to another party of its desire to submit the dispute to arbitration, the notice shall contain the name of the person appointed to the Board of Arbitration by the party giving notice.
A party to whom notice is given that another party desires to submit the dispute to arbitration shall, within ten days of receiving the notice, name the person whom it appoints to the Board of Arbitration who shall be the chairperson thereof.
When a party receiving notice that another party desires to submit a dispute to arbitration fails to appoint a member to the Board of Arbitration, or where the two appointees of the parties fail to agree on the appointment of the third member of the Board of Arbitration within the time specified, the Manitoba Labour Board may be requested by any party to the agreement to appoint a member on behalf of the party failing to make the appointment or to appoint a third member as the case may be, and, where the case requires, may be requested to appoint both.
The Board of Arbitration shall make its award within fourteen days after the appointment of the third member of the Board of Arbitration or within such longer period as may be agreed upon by the parties.
