The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination on the basis of sex (pregnancy) against her employer, Brinks Canada Limited, and her benefits provider, Great West Life.
The applicant's union, CAW Canada Local 4266, requested and was granted intervener status.
Brinks requested that the application be dismissed against it on the basis that it is a federally regulated employer.
The Tribunal directed the parties to provide written submissions on the jurisdictional issue.
