Application for workplace harassment based on marital status dismissed as objective component of harassment not met.
The applicant alleged she experienced workplace harassment by the Local President because of her personal relationship with a former President, and that the Union Local and its Vice-President failed to take reasonable steps to address the harassment.
The Tribunal found that while the interpersonal relationship was strained, the President's conduct did not meet the objective component of the definition of harassment.
The Tribunal also found that the Local and Vice-President took reasonable steps to respond to the applicant's allegations by establishing a committee and implementing office protocols.
The application was dismissed.
Tribunal partially grants motion to dismiss, allowing only the marital status discrimination claim to proceed.
The respondents brought a preliminary request to dismiss the applicant's human rights application for failing to set out a prima facie case.
The applicant alleged discrimination and harassment based on disability, marital status, family status, and sex.
The Tribunal dismissed the allegations relating to disability, family status, and sex, finding they lacked a sufficient basis or were not properly pleaded in the original complaint.
However, the Tribunal allowed the allegation of discrimination based on marital status to proceed, as the applicant provided sufficient evidence that she may have experienced adverse treatment due to her conjugal relationship with a specific person.
