  • Case Overview: The Union sought judicial review of the BC Labour Relations Board's decision regarding a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy implemented by the BC Rapid Transit Company.
  • Board's Decision: The Board's majority decision found that the vaccination policy did not trigger Section 54 of the Labour Relations Code, which requires employers to consult with unions about changes affecting employment terms.
  • Court's Decision: The Supreme Court of BC dismissed the Union's petition for judicial review, finding the Board's decision reasonable.
  • Costs Awarded: The Union's petition was dismissed with costs to the Respondent Employer, but the Board did not seek costs.
