This province’s Supreme Court has ruled that unionized employees do have recourse to the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission.The case began with Halifax Regional Police Officer Detective Const. Deborah Carleton, who is on long-term disability for post-traumatic stress disorder, seeking to have Halifax Regional Police pay for in-patient care in Ontario.
Part way through that process, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled on a similar case from Manitoba, finding that where there was a collective agreement in place the decision should be made by a labour arbitrator. Meanwhile the province’s seven largest unions received intervenor status, arguing the workers it represents should be able to file complaints with the Human Rights Commission.
Thursday’s ruling, that Human Rights Commission has “concurrent” jurisdiction means those cases can go ahead.
