The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination and reprisal by her employer.

The respondent requested to dismiss allegations pre-dating December 11, 2011 for delay, and requested a summary hearing for the remaining surveillance allegation.

The Tribunal dismissed the older allegations, finding no good faith explanation for the delay, as waiting for an internal investigation to conclude does not justify delay.

The request for a summary hearing was denied.

The applicant's request to amend was dismissed without prejudice, and the union's request to intervene was granted.

The applicant filed an application alleging discrimination in employment based on record of offences.

A preliminary hearing was scheduled to determine whether the substance of the application had been dealt with in another proceeding or amounted to an abuse of process.

The applicant failed to attend the hearing despite receiving proper notice.

As a result, the Tribunal dismissed the application as abandoned.

The union filed a grievance alleging the employer violated the collective agreement by hiring new fixed-term employees for a temporary exhibit without posting the positions.

The employer raised a preliminary objection, arguing the union's particulars did not establish a prima facie case.

The Grievance Settlement Board agreed, finding that the collective agreement did not oblige the employer to post temporary assignments of less than six months.

The employer's motion to dismiss the grievance was granted.
