Age discrimination application dismissed summarily; benefit ineligibility resulted from voluntary pension transfer, not age.
The applicant alleged that the respondent union discriminated against him on the basis of age by deeming him ineligible for Long Term Disability and Supplementary Unemployment Benefits after he elected to transfer his pension account balance at age 55.
The Tribunal held a summary hearing and found that the ineligibility was a consequence of the applicant's voluntary decision to transfer funds, not his age.
The application was dismissed as having no reasonable prospect of success.
