CUPW and Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms contains the right to belong to a union and Canada's labour code protects the right to collective bargaining. It's on those grounds, the union wants to file a legal challenge

Letters and bills may be returning to your mailbox, but the union representing Canada's postal workers says this fight is far from over.





The 15-member national executive board of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers has decided to take the federal government to court over last week's back-to-work legislation.





Nearly 50,000 locked-out Canada Post workers were forced back to their jobs this week under settlement terms arranged by government.





Gerry Deveau, national director for the Ontario region of the CUPW, said Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms contains the right to belong to a union and Canada's labour code protects the right to collective bargaining. It's on those grounds, the union wants to file a legal challenge, he said.





"The government intervention here is stripping us of those rights," Deveau said.





Kevin Banks, a Law professor at Queen's University, said, "this is a new area of the law and it'll be interesting to see how it plays out."





He said the claim will likely be based on a 2007 Supreme Court decision about "B.C. Health Services."





In that decision, the court found the charter right to freedom of association protects collective bargaining. It also says the government must not "substantially interfere" with the ability of the parties to consult and engage with each other in order to settle their differences.





Banks, who specializes in labour law, said the 2007 ruling "creates a bit of space for collective bargaining" because the Supreme Court struck down legislation forcing health workers back to the job, saying it was unconstitutional. Parties were then given time to work out their own bargain.





The issue for the courts will be to determine if the government substantially interfered or not.





CUPW said the court challenge will target one of the main sticking points over the bill — the wage settlements. The government legislated a wage increase of 1.57 per cent, which is lower than the 1.9 per cent that Canada Post had put on the table earlier this month in negotiations with its workers.





"Clearly the government had its own ideas about what should be happening and has given effect to them through legislation — so that doesn't leave a lot of room for bargaining," said Banks.





Banks imagined the government will argue that CUPW had ample opportunity to bargain and the government was within its rights to step in to resolve the dispute that had reached an impasse.





The court will need to decide how much room the parties should have to resolve disputes themselves, even if it means a strike or a lockout.





"The law is not clear on that point. They would be charting new territory," said Banks.





Deveau said the union would consult with legal counsel Wednesday and for the rest of this week. He anticipated launching the challenge by next week but told Postmedia News the union has no plans to defy the back-to-work legislation by striking.





Canada Post spokesman Jon Hamilton said Wednesday afternoon he hadn't heard anything about the possible court case.





"We're focused on delivering the mail and serving Canadians," he said.





Deveau said Canadians have welcomed posties back with open arms.





"One customer had balloons on his front lawn with a sign saying 'Welcome back Postie! We've missed you.' Another carrier went to a school where a whole class was outside applauding and cheering him on. It brought him to tears," said Deveau.





Canada Post locked out its employees on June 14, after the CUPW conducted 12 days of rotating strikes.





Labour Minister Lisa Raitt then introduced the back-to-work legislation.





Opposition MPs condemned the bill as a whole, saying it undermined workers' rights to collective bargaining.

Lisa Raitt Minister of Labour Mismanagement at Work!

Prior to the election campaign, Raitt was the president and chief executive officer of the Toronto Port Authority (TPA), a Canadian federal corporation that manages commerce, transportation (including the Toronto City Centre Airport) and recreation in the Toronto Harbour. She has also served as the TPA’s Corporate Secretary and General Counsel,[3] and harbourmaster (she was the first female harbourmaster of a Canadian port).[4]




 Mismanagement allegationsThe TPA has been criticized for close connections to the Conservative party for both its paid lobbyists and directors.[5] Federal Transport Minister John Baird is facing allegations of ``political interference and ``coverup as part of a bid to bury complaints of mismanagement against his Conservative cabinet colleague, Lisa Raitt, in connection with her former job as head of the Toronto Port Authority.



New Democrat MP Olivia Chow laid out the charges at a news conference in Toronto, where she also called on Sheila Fraser, the federal auditor general, to conduct an audit of the port authority to investigate why Baird increased the membership of the board of directors from seven to nine - and why Raitt, while CEO of the authority, was allowed to run up almost $80,000 in travel and other expenses over two years when the organization was running a deficit.[6]



New details emerged in November 2009. A report by the Toronto Star detailed that Raitt signed off on her own expenses, including a trip to London, England against the wishes of then TPA chair Michele McCarthy, who refused to approve the expense. Expenses were reported as $30,000, when the actual money spent was $80,000.[7] This followed the finding that a staffer in Raitt's office at the TPA used TPA resources on Raitt's election campaign.[8]



On September 14, 2010, the Toronto Port Authority issued the results of their independent forensic review conducted by the Investigations & Forensic Services division of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in a news release. [9] The review was undertaken at the TPA’s request to investigate, among other things, specific allegations made by certain former members of the TPA Board of Directors in March and November 2009 and repeated by Chow which turned out to be false.



S.L.A.P.P. controversyIn her capacity as CEO of Toronto Port Authority, in 2006, Raitt initiated a rare political libel action against a citizen group, Community Air, that had criticized her. The Globe and Mail described TPA's multi-million dollar strategic lawsuit against public participation, as designed to prevent "the volunteer activists from making any more allegedly defamatory statements about the federal agency -- a category of speech, according to the wide-open statement of claim the authority filed in court last week, that would seem to include every public statement any of the activists has ever made in this hotly contested, thoroughly aired, public debate".[10] The suit was eventually settled out of court when Community Air agreed to retract its statements and apologize.[11]



Federal politicsIn September 2008, Raitt was appointed to run as the Conservative candidate in Halton against Liberal incumbent Garth Turner.[12] Turner was formerly a Conservative member but was suspended from the Conservative caucus in 2006 for breaching confidentiality. He later joined the Liberals after briefly sitting as an independent member.[13] A bitter campaign between Turner and Raitt ensued. Turner made public accusations of dirty tricks by the local Conservative association and Raitt, calling Raitt a "master of deceit."[14] Raitt made controversial comments about the North and global warming. At an October 6 meeting of the Oakville, Ontario, Chamber of Commerce, Raitt was on record cheering about the possibilities of increased tourism and shipping opportunities in the North, thanks to the melting polar ice cap.[14][15]



On October 14, 2008, Raitt defeated Turner by over 7,000 votes. Raitt was named to the Cabinet of Canada on October 30, 2008 as Minister of Natural Resources, one of eleven women named to the Cabinet.[16]



 Secret documents left at news bureauOn June 2, 2009, CTV News reported that a folder of confidential and secret ministerial briefing documents had been left by Raitt or her staff at the CTV News Ottawa office for a week. CTV News chose to reveal the contents which listed the funding for the Chalk River nuclear reactor which had recently shut down, causing a shortage of medical radioisotopes. On June 3, the opposition parties demanded that the government fire Raitt or accept her resignation. Raitt claimed to have offered her resignation and that the offer was rejected by the Prime Minister. A ministerial aide, Raitt's 26-year-old director of communications, Jasmine MacDonnell, offered her resignation which was accepted.[17]



Some critics attempted to draw parallels to a similar occurrence in 2008 involving Maxime Bernier, who ultimately was forced to resign his cabinet post as Minister of Foreign Affairs after leaving sensitive documents pertaining to a NATO conference at the home of an ex-girlfriend. Speaking to reporters, the Prime Minister said that "Minister Raitt was working at the time. She was undertaking employment activity, ministerial activity in the company of her staff who were responsible for these documents, certainly for accounting for these documents later."[18] Addressing the parallel he added, "[i]n the case of Minister Bernier, his actions were much more personal in nature and that was the difference in the responsibility."[19]

Lisa Raitt radio isotope shortage tape



On June 8, 2009, CBC news online reported that a Nova Scotia court heard an argument to block the Halifax Chronicle-Herald from publishing a story about an audio recording involving Raitt. The injunction was denied.[20] On the audio tape, made on January 30, 2009 by the same aide who resigned on June 2, was a discussion between Raitt and the aide over the radioisotopes shortage. The judge ruled that the public interest over-rode the issue of confidentiality.[21]



On the tape, Raitt made comments on the radio isotope issue, describing it as "sexy ... Radioactive leaks. Cancer." and hard to control because it is "confusing to a lot of people".[21] Raitt also made comments on the parliamentary skills of Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq:



"Oh, God, she's such a capable woman, but it's hard for her to come out of a co-operative government into this rough-and-tumble. She had a question in the House yesterday, or two days ago, that planked. I really hope she never gets anything hot."[21]



Raitt also made comments about Manitoba MP Joy Smith, who introduced a private member's bill on human trafficking:



"Speaking of career-limiting moves, I’m in shock that that MP, Joy Smith, brought forward private member’s legislation on human trafficking. She’s on Canada AM. And the reason being is that there’s no way any of us should be introducing anything around justice issues or finance issues right now. You just can’t touch those two things."[22]
