Union to pay damages and penalty to its member…
The Employment Court has found that a union breached its duty of good faith to one of its members when it deliberately set out to undermine the member with her employer and other colleagues.
Another union member made a complaint about the member’s behaviour. The Union organised an investigator to look into the allegations and the investigator found no evidence to support the allegations. Despite that the Union doubled down and tried further to discredit their member with her employer.
The Court penalised the Union $12,000 for its breach of good faith all of which is to be paid to the member and ordered $38,000 in compensation to be paid to the union member as well.
