Summary:
Seasonal worker. Cannot lose what does not have. An unemployed person who loses the chance of being employed may lose employment, but not "his" employment; it was never his. He perhaps had the right to be recalled, but that is not employment.

Summary:
I am not prepared to say that parties negotiating renewal of a collective agreement are necessarily in disagreement. This is a question of fact and the board's decision should have been upheld. [Lalande J.A.]
The argument that there is no dispute when negotiations are proceeding smoothly and without interruption is unsound. A dispute is a disagreement. Negotiations would be unnecessary if there were agreement and the purpose is to put an end to the disagreement. [Pratte J.A.]
