The applicants, long-term hotel employees, alleged age and nationality discrimination when they were not transferred to the employer's new location.
They also alleged the union failed to fairly represent them.
The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine if the applications should be dismissed under section 45.1 of the Human Rights Code, as the applicants had previously pursued grievances and duty of fair representation complaints at the Ontario Labour Relations Board.
The Tribunal dismissed the Gleeson application entirely and the Clarke application against the union, finding those issues had been appropriately dealt with in the prior proceedings.
The Clarke application against the hotel was permitted to proceed to mediation.
