How has the union represented the Complainant in a grievance procedure?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Poole v Canadian Energy Workers Association, 2016 CanLII 81003 (AB LRB):
The Union communicated with the Complainant by his inclusion in the Step 3 grievance procedure. Regardless, non-communication is not a breach of the duty of fair representation when it results in no prejudice: see Dezentje v. IBEW, Local 424 [1999] Alta. L.R.B.R. at pages 399-400. No prejudice arose from any defect of communication here.
