An outdoor retail store in British Columbia violated its obligation to one of its employees when it promoted another, less senior worker over the grievor, an arbitrator has decided.
Tony Xu, represented by the Retail Wholesale Union, local 580, filed a grievance against Mountain Equipment Co-operative (MEC) when he was passed over for a lead hand promotion — a job that Xu, as a senior employee, was entitled to be duly considered for.
