The union filed grievances on behalf of an employee alleging the employer improperly excluded him from job competitions, denied him secondments, and created a stressful working environment.
The employee had purchased a home in another city anticipating the privatization of his workplace, which ultimately did not occur, leaving him with a long daily commute.
The arbitrator dismissed the grievances, finding no violation of the collective agreement, as the appointment and assignment of employees is a management right and there was no evidence of bad faith or discrimination.
