WINNIPEG --
The lawyer for a union representing health care workers told a Manitoba Labour Board hearing a union support officer’s employment was not renewed because of job performance, not because the worker filed a respectful workplace complaint against her boss.
Sherlynn Delaney, 62, filed a complaint with the Labour Board alleging she was wrongfully dismissed from her job as a union support officer after filing a respectful workplace complaint against CUPE Local 204 president Debbie Boissonneault and a human rights complaint against the union.
In an opening statement, Kristine Barr, lawyer for CUPE Local 204, told the hearing Delaney was initially hired in Jan. 2018 on a one-year term, with an option to extend.
