Carol Kraft has been named the new vice-chair of the Saskatchewan Labour Relations Board, replacing Barbara Mysko, who has served in the role since 2019.
“Ms. Kraft’s extensive legal background and her broad experience in both the private and public sectors make her an excellent addition to the board,” said Don McMorris, Minister of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety. “I also want to thank Ms. Mysko for her service as she has played an important role in ensuring impartial adjudication of labour relations matters for the province.”
Kraft, a retired barrister and solicitor, brings a wealth of experience in employment and labour law. She earned her Bachelor of Laws at the University of Saskatchewan and has had a distinguished career in the private sector, Crown corporations, and executive government through the Ministry of Justice and Attorney General.
One notable achievement in her career was her work at Saskatchewan Government Insurance, where she ensured quality control of the No Fault Injury and Tort Insurance Programs.
The Saskatchewan Labour Relations Board is a quasi-judicial tribunal that adjudicates disputes under The Saskatchewan Employment Act and handles applications for union certification or decertification. The board operates independently of government and consists of equal numbers of employee and employer representatives.
