The ASA Bargaining Team met with legal counsel to review the bargaining process and relevant Alberta labour legislation. Based on this review, legal counsel believes that certain infractions may have occurred and has filed a Bad Faith Bargaining Complaint with the Alberta Labour Relations Board, pursuant to sections 12(2), 60(1), and 60(3) of the Labour Relations Code (RSA 2000, c. L-1). The Alberta Labour Relations Board will review the complaint and may request further information or issue directions as appropriate.
