The applicant filed a complaint alleging that her union breached its duty of fair representation under section 74 of the Labour Relations Act by settling her grievances without her consent.
The grievances related to workplace harassment, discipline, and the elimination of her position while she was on sick leave.
The Board found that the union had properly considered the merits of the grievances, the likelihood of success at arbitration, and the benefits of the settlement, which provided the applicant with a new position, gold-circled pay, and enhanced protections.
The Board concluded that the union's decision was fair, reasonable, and not arbitrary, discriminatory, or in bad faith, and dismissed the application for failing to disclose a prima facie case.
