Is there any case law where a union and the complainant are privies?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from O'Connor v. Canadian National Railway, 2006 CHRT 5 (CanLII):
In Smith v. CN, I stated that it is not possible to say that in all cases the union and the complainant are privies. Each fact situation must be examined on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the union and the complainant have sufficiently similar interests in the resolution of the dispute to find that they are privies of one another.
