Prior to becoming a full-time ADR professional, I practiced employment law for close to 15 years. Today a significant part of my ADR practice involves mediating workplace disputes - both those in the courts (wrongful dismissal claims) and within organizations.

Here we are on December 6, 2012, and still no resolution to the NHL lockout in sight.
Surprised? Ask me in January. As I suggested back in September 2012, this dispute is about ego and the each side’s desperate need not to lose. A tenuous relationship between the players and owners is at the core of this dispute, built on the outcome of the 2004 work stoppage where the season was lost and a resolution only found after a humiliating disintegration of the NHLPA’s leadership and spirit. Ken Dryden has written a thoughtful piece in today’s Globe & Mail that echoes my sentiments. Ever the optimist, I feel we’re closer than ever to a resolution if for no other reason than time is running out on the season, and I do not believe that the NHL can afford to lose another season. There will be hockey in January 2013. |
