Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When employees believe that their union has treated them unfairly, they can file a complaint with the labour board alleging a breach of the duty of fair representation. This duty requires the union to represent all members, regardless of their personal opinions or beliefs. If they fail in this duty and treat members unfairly, the labour board can investigate the complaint and take appropriate action. Filing a complaint with other agencies such as the human rights commission may not be appropriate in this situation.
