Human rights application deferred pending completion of ongoing union grievance on same facts.
The applicant filed an application alleging discrimination in employment on the basis of disability and creed.

The respondent supported deferral, while the applicant did not file submissions.
The Tribunal deferred the application to avoid inconsistent decisions, as the issues in both proceedings overlapped significantly.

Duty of fair representation application dismissed; union's agreement to restore another employee's seniority was not arbitrary.
The applicant filed an application alleging the union breached its duty of fair representation under section 74 of the Labour Relations Act.
The union had agreed with the employer to restore the seniority of another employee who had previously resigned after being denied a leave of absence.
This restoration of seniority caused the other employee to win a job competition over the applicant.
The union subsequently withdrew a grievance filed on the applicant's behalf regarding the job posting.
The Board dismissed the application, finding that the union's decision to restore the other employee's seniority was made in good faith to rectify what it viewed as an improper denial of leave, and its actions were not arbitrary, discriminatory, or in bad faith toward the applicant.
Union certified after Board excludes three challenged ballots in construction industry representation vote.
The applicant union applied for certification in the construction industry.
A representation vote was held, and the union challenged the eligibility of three individuals, arguing they were not performing bargaining unit work on the application date.
Following a hearing, the Board issued a bottom-line decision finding the three individuals were not performing bargaining unit work and their ballots would not be counted.
As more than 50 per cent of the valid ballots were cast in favour of the union, the Board ordered the issuance of certificates for the industrial, commercial and institutional sector and all other sectors in the relevant geographic area.
