The applicant, a journeyman carpenter, alleged that his union discriminated against him on the basis of disability or perceived disability.
He claimed the union skipped his name for work dispatch, removed him from the available-to-work list, and failed to dispel rumours about his physical capacity to work.
The Tribunal dismissed the application, finding that the skipped dispatches were due to data-entry errors regarding his qualifications, not discriminatory motives.
Furthermore, the union's request for a medical report was justified given safety concerns, and it had no positive obligation under the Code to dispel industry rumours.
