A former top executive at the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada is suing the federal union for wrongful dismissal, Radio-Canada has learned.
Court documents filed by a former senior executive and the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada show a series of tense incidents after the election of a new president in 2022.
PIPSC manages a budget of around $55 million, employs approximately 220 people and represents more than 62,000 federal public servants. The union considers the damages Gillis is claiming to be "unreasonable and excessive" and is requesting the legal action be dismissed.Documents filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice show tensions between Gillis and the board of directors following Jennifer Carr's election as PIPSC president.
In a 10-page statement of defence, the PIPSC maintains that Gillis made several faults that justified his dismissal. "Through his actions, it was clear that the plaintiff viewed himself, not as an advisor to the board and administrator to the board's directions, but rather as a rival to the elected leadership for control over the organization."
After that incident, the chair of the finance committee advised Gillis that "his conduct was inappropriate and directed him to change his behaviour," the defence said.In his statement of claim, Gillis denies that he ever demonstrated "wilful misconduct, disobedience or wilful neglect of duty," within the framework of his responsibilities.
