labour dispute  rationale 

Summary:

Principle of neutrality examined and discussed. It is not related to the payment or non-payment of benefits in relation to a specific labour dispute. It applies to the operation of an UI scheme in general. It is not infringed by the non-payment of benefits in the present case.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:

Summary:

It is argued that s.31 offends the Charter because it discriminates between unionized and non-unionized workers. It is a stoppage of work due to a labour dispute which brings s.31 into play, not whether workers are unionized. It also includes disputes by non-unionized workers.
