CUPE Local 23 arrived at an 'informed decision' not to take ex-City of Burnaby employee Carlo Sferra's grievance to arbitration because it was unlikely to succeed, according to the Labour Relations Board.

The B.C. Labour Relations Board has dismissed the complaint of a former City of Burnaby employee fired for refusing to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or tested for the virus according to the city’s policy.

Sferra said the union caused delays filling out the grievance form, filed a grievance form without his signature and without him having seen it, and ultimately refused to pursue a monetary settlement agreement he thought was fair or take his case to arbitration.

"The union put significant effort and resources into ensuring it fully understood the applicant's perspective, putting forward the strongest possible case in the grievance procedure and reaching a reasoned decision not to advance the grievance to arbitration," the union said.
