Privacy law is an area that increasingly affects trade unions.  There are separate legislative schemes for the provincial public sector, provincial private sector, federal public sector, and federal private sector. 

We assist unions and their members in obtaining access to information under these various legislative schemes, and in responding to requests that unions disclose information. 

We have been counsel in many cases before privacy commissioners, as well as in judicial reviews of decisions under privacy legislation.  In addition, we frequently deal with privacy issues at arbitration and in labour board proceedings.
