Our Team
LabourWare management is made up of an outstanding combination of highly skilled and experienced individuals. We have two members, each with more than twenty five years of direct experience working for Canada's largest union, and an entrepreneur with twenty five years business building experience.
Ray Arsenault is our lead Labour Consultant. After some 30 years with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), Ray retired in May 1999 and started his consulting firm. Thanks to the extensive experience he gained during all those years in the labour movement, Ray can offer comprehensive services in all aspects of labour relations. He has presented well over 200 arbitration cases during his career, participated in countless numbers of negotiations, conciliation and mediation sessions.
