“Last week, the Supreme Court of Canada issued its decision in Northern Regional Health Authority v. Horrocks, 2021 SCC 423. Since its release, some commentary on this decision has claimed that the jurisdiction of human rights tribunals is ousted in favour of labour arbitrators with respect to unionized employees.
While this may be the case for unionized employees in Manitoba, a careful review of this decision indicates this is likely not the case in other jurisdictions, including Ontario.”
