Chapter V - Recourses (Section 98 to 135)

Division III - Recourse against dismissals not made for good and sufficient cause (Section 124 to 135)

Section 126.1

Representation

The Commission des normes du travail may, in a proceeding under this division, represent an employee who does not belong to a group of employees to which certification has been granted under the Labour Code (chapter C-27).

1997, c. 2, s. 2; 2001, c. 26, s. 145; O.C. 1314-2002.

Interpretation

The Commission des normes du travail may represent a non-unionized employee during the exercise of a recourse against a dismissal not made for good and sufficient cause (s. 124 ALS and following). This power is not discretionary. The legislator wanted to protect the exercise of the employee’s rights. The power to represent the employee is associated with the duty to represent him when the conditions of the recourse are brought together and the employee requests it.
