Human rights application against union dismissed at summary hearing for no reasonable prospect of success.
The applicant alleged discrimination based on colour, place of origin, and ethnic origin, as well as reprisal, primarily relating to his dissatisfaction with his union's representation after he complained about a co-worker's racial slur.
The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine if the application had a reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to point to any evidence linking the union's actions to a protected ground or establishing that the union intended to reprise against him for claiming his rights under the Code.
The application was dismissed for having no reasonable prospect of success.
