The applicant requested a reconsideration of a Tribunal decision that dismissed his human rights application against both his employer and his union.
The original dismissal was based on section 53(8) of the Human Rights Code, as the subject matter was substantially the same as a complaint previously filed with the Human Rights Commission.
However, the Commission complaint only named the employer, not the union.
The Tribunal granted the reconsideration request with respect to the union, finding that the section 53(8) bar did not apply to it.
A teleconference hearing was scheduled to address the union's arguments that the application against it should be dismissed for delay and failure to disclose a prima facie case.
