Duncan v United Food and Commercial Workers Union, Local No. 1118, 2012 CanLII 26110 (AB LRB)

Joanne Duncan filed two duty of fair representation complaints against the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, Local No. 1118 and its representatives. The Complainant alleges that the Respondents failed to fairly represent her by refusing to pursue her harassment grievance to arbitration and by withdrawing her grievance related to a posted spare forklift operator position. The complaint, because it had no likelihood of success, was summarily dismissed.
