The Globe and Mail is reporting today that CUPE 3093 intends to challenge the back to work legislation as a Charter breach. I have discussed the possible arguments before. Once the lawsuit has been filed, I will get the documents from the lawyers or the court and post them. I’m not sure if the union intends to seek an injunction suspending the legislation until after a decision on whether the legislation is legal. I’ll let you know when we hear what the plan is. Stayed tuned….
