Duty of fair representation – Scope of duty – Board reviews scope of duty relating to grievance and arbitration proceedings – Union investigated circumstances of grievance, considered relevant factors and weighed competing interests of applicant, union members and union – Board finds union did not act arbitrarily, discriminatorily or in bad faith and dismisses application. The Trade Union Act, ss. 5(d) and 25.1 REASONS FOR DECISION Background: [1] In late 1997, Carlton Trail Railway Company (“CTR”) acquired Canadian National Railway’s (“CN”) Prince Albert terminal and associated lines between Saskatoon, North Battleford and Meadow Lake. Prior to the transfer, Charles Hawkins (the “Applicant”) was employed by CN at Prince Albert as a conductor. He was a member of the United Transportation Union, Local 1110 (“UTU” or the “Union”). UTU is the bargaining agent for a unit comprising conductors, assistant conductors and brakemen employed by CN, and for another unit of such employees employed by CTR. [2] Prior to the sale, affected UTU members employed at CN were given the option to transfer to other CN operations, to transfer to CTR retaining their accumulated CN seniority, or to sever their employment from CN and receive a severance payment.
