Contractors who are forced to join unions to work on large Manitoba Hydro projects were disappointed today after getting word that the Supreme Court of Canada is refusing to hear their case.
The contractors believed that their charter rights were being violated because Manitoba Hydro rules forced the group to pay union dues on large projects like Bipolle III.
As is standard practice the Supreme Court did not give any reasons why they won’t hear the case.
Manitoba Hydro and the unions believe the issue rests with the Manitoba Labour Board and should be heard there.
