Société canadienne des postes c. Syndicat des travailleurs et travailleuses des postes(CUPW N00-12-00003, Arb. Lauzon) 2014 LNSARTQ 349

Roberto Ghignone  writes:

On November 19, 2014, Quebec Labour Arbitrator Claude Lauzon issued a decision in a grievance between Canada Post and the Union of Canadian Postal Employees concerning Canada Post’s new “Practice Regarding Security Clearance of Personnel” which was implemented in 2013.

At issue, was whether Canada Post could require existing employees to provide their consent to criminal and credit checks.
