The applicant filed an application under the Human Rights Code.
The respondent requested that the application be deferred because the same facts and human rights issues were the subject of ongoing union grievances.
The applicant opposed deferral, arguing that the union owned the grievances and might not proceed with them.
The Tribunal deferred the application, noting its normal approach is to defer when concurrent grievance proceedings are ongoing, as grievance arbitrators have the authority to decide human rights issues.
