Re Canada Post Corp And Canadian Union Of Postal Workers, Innis Christie

Innis Christie Collection

Policy Grievance relating to grievance procedure. Grievance allowed.

At issue here is the binding effect of an arrangement between the parties in the Atlantic region which allows for the "Level 2" hearing in grievances relating to absenteeism to be held at Halifax rather than at the employer's head office. Also at issue was the question of whether the implication of this arrangement is that the union has the option of using the expedited arbitration procedure set out in paras. 13 to 25 of app. "E" to the collective agreement for such grievances.

Crossing The Lines In Dolphin Delivery: Some Thoughts On The Parameters Of The Charter Application - Unpublished, Dianne Potheier

Dianne Pothier Collection

A threatened picket line which never materialized turned into the unlikely setting out of which the Supreme Court of Canada drew the demarcation lines between litigation to which the Charter does and does not apply. I use the description "unlikely setting" not because it is odd that labour picketing was the context for debating the issue of Charter application. The considerable extent to which Canadian law leaves labour picketing to the common law makes it an obvious place to assess the Charter's application to the common law. But it could not have been less planned than Retail, Wholesale and Department …

Sobeys Stores Limited V. Yeomans Et Al: A Case Comment, Michael V. Coyle

Dalhousie Law Journal

In Sobeys Store Limited v. Yeomans et aLI the Appeal Division of the Nova Scotia Supreme Court seems to strike down the provisions of the provincial Labour Standards Code2 that make reinstatement a viable remedy for senior workers who have been dismissed without just cause. In reality, the judgement, now on appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada, may have missed its mark by a wide margin and, despite the obvious intention of the Court, left these very provisions untouched in the result.
