The applicants sought judicial review of two decisions of the Pay Equity Hearings Tribunal.
The Tribunal had dismissed applications by the unions to eliminate different rates of progression through the wage grids of comparable male and female job classes, holding that the Pay Equity Act does not require the harmonization of wage grids.
The Tribunal also rejected the argument that its interpretation of the Act authorized a contravention of the Human Rights Code.
The Divisional Court dismissed the applications for judicial review, finding that the Tribunal's decisions were reasonable and that the Pay Equity Act does not require or authorize a contravention of the Human Rights Code.
