Rysinski v. Aecon Industrial

Clinging to past knowledge can be costly

November 8, 2011 Andrew Lawson Human Resources, Human Rights, Union Relations

Twice in the last month while conducting training sessions, I have had a workshop participant insist that their workers could NOT file a claim directly with the HRTO because the workers are members of a union. The workers must, they have insisted, file a grievance and settle their human rights claim via the labour relations process. A review of the law reveals the above is simply NOT the case.
