QC labour tribunal orders McGill to stop obstruction of law professor union

The Government of Québec’s Tribunal administratif du travail (TAT) has reportedly ordered McGill University to “cease all forms of obstruction” and stop communicating with the members of the union representing the institution’s full-time law faculty. The Canadian Press reports that the labour tribunal found that McGill had violated the provincial labour code by sending emails to law professors that attempted to “undermine the union’s credibility.” The first email reportedly included critical comments about the union while explaining why McGill had withdrawn from negotiation sessions; the second email sought to correct a document sent by the union about pension plans.
