The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination and reprisal by her former employers and a new service provider following her return to work from hip replacement surgery.
The union had previously filed a grievance alleging failure to accommodate.
The Tribunal considered whether to defer the application pending the conclusion of the grievance proceeding.
The Tribunal declined to defer, finding that the application raised broader issues, including the new service provider's refusal to hire the applicant, which could not be addressed in the grievance process.
