Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
I have been dismissed in Jan 201,as a unionised employee,and the person from the employer side who signed my dismissal is the sister in law of the person who
arrange arbitration on the Union side.This later one acknowledge conflict of interest
and obviously is sabotaging the process of Arbitration.How I get away from this Union
and get a proper hearing.Otherwise it will be beyond doubts a rigged process.
The only way to have different representation than your union is to file a duty of fair representation complaint with the Ontario labour relations board. However you should be aware that this is a very difficult process and the success rate is extremely low.
