Alberta's Court of Appeal has upheld
the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench granting the
Union's request for an interim injunction. The interim
injunction blocks Suncor's random drug testing policy at the
Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo site. The injunction will
apply until the underlying arbitration is decided; a final decision
will be made either by way of appeal to the Supreme Court of
Canada, or by a fresh arbitration panel. We will continue to
provide updates on this litigation which may provide some much
needed clarity on the legality of random drug testing in
Canada.
