You may remember back in October of last year we posted here that one of our members had filed a baseless CHRO complaint against our Union. Well we are pleased to say that back in May we got notice that the CHRO agreed with us and chose to dismiss the case after an initial review without even holding a hearing because they felt the complaint had no cause. You can read the dismissal letter here:
Unfortunately about a month ago we got notice that the complainant had re-filed the same exact complaint that had just been rejected by the CHRO in the courts. While this will be waste of ours and the Court's time we're confident that this process will yield the same results as the CHRO process, with a dismissal. If a panel like the CHRO that exists solely to hear these types of allegations rejected the case due to a lack of cause, then we can't reasonably see the general Courts coming to a different conclusion. However with the Courts being what the Courts are, and the additional delays to the legal process caused by COVID, it will be quite some time until we get any resolution in this matter. In fact it is probably likely that the Sergeant's test issue at the heart of this complaint will probably be resolved before this complaint is which would ultimately make it moot anyway.
If you wish to know our thoughts on the complaint you can go back and read the post from a year ago as they haven't changed since it's the same complaint as it was back then. Thank you everyone for your patience as we navigate this matter.
