A labour board in Alberta has ruled two unions acted in good faith after some members whom they represent, but who did not take the COVID-19 shots, filed complaints alleging that the unions did not represent them fairly.

“Nothing in the material before the Board indicates the Union[s] acted arbitrarily, with serious negligence, or in bad faith, nor does it indicate the Union[s] discriminated against the Complainant[s],” wrote William Armstrong, vice-chair of the Alberta Labour Relations Board, whose rulings were released on Jan. 11.
