If an employer has not responded to a Transit Union grievance, can the union claim damages?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Frayn v. Quinlan, 2008 NSSC 63 (CanLII):
Furthermore, if the employer did not respond to the grievance, the Union had the ability to proceed to the next step in the process according to Article 14.08 of the Local Agreement. If the grievance had been dealt with, or if it is dealt with, an arbitrator has the authority to award damages as the arbitrator did in Toronto Transit Commission v. Amalgamated Transit Union, supra.
