The applicant filed human rights applications alleging discrimination based on race, colour, and ethnic origin regarding his suspension as financial secretary and removal of signing authority by the respondent unions.
The respondents requested dismissal under s. 45.1 of the Human Rights Code, arguing the matter was already dealt with by the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB).
The Tribunal found that the CIRB proceeding appropriately dealt with the substance of the applications, as the CIRB had already determined the applicant did not experience discrimination under the broader definition in the Canada Labour Code.
The applications were dismissed.
