The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal has tossed out an appeal by Unifor Local 594, having found a Queen’s Bench Chambers judge didn’t err in relation to an exception allowing drivers to continue on without listening to pickets’ full message.
“On the evidence before her, the Chambers judge properly balanced the interests of the Union, the employer and third parties,” wrote Justice Ralph Ottenbreit. “She was acutely aware of the delicate balance between the Union’s rights and the employer’s rights in the context of the labour dispute. She took into account the need for the Union to have more time to communicate its message while, at the same time, acknowledging that a third party has the right not to listen.”
