      History

      The Industrial Relations Division was created in 1972 at a time of major government reorganization. At its creation, it comprised the Conciliation and Mediation Services Branch, the Ontario Labour Management Arbitration Commission and the Ontario Labour Relations Board.

      The Labour Relations Board was transferred away from the jurisdiction of the division by 1975. The name of the Conciliation Services Branch was changed to the Ontario Conciliation and Mediation Service, and later it was changed again to the Office of Mediation. The Ontario Labour Management Arbitration Commission became the Office of Arbitration in 1979. These branches were joined by the Research and Analysis Unit in 1986-87 (renamed the Office of Collective Bargaining Information in 1988-89).

      In 1993, its name was changed to Labour Management Services.
