Is there any case law supporting a finding that a union discriminated against an applicant because of their disability?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Garland v. Canusa-CPS, 2012 HRTO 1309 (CanLII):
In any event, the question is not whether the union was correct or not, or even whether it acted fairly, but whether a factor in its decision making was that the applicant was a person with a disability. See Traversy v. Mississauga Firefighters Association, 2009 HRTO 996, and Arias v. Centre for Spanish Speaking Peoples, 2009 HRTO 1025. There is no evidence that the applicant can point to that would support such a finding. Accordingly this aspect of the Application must be dismissed as well as having no reasonable prospect of success.
