Lest anyone think that this issue affects only the pilots at Air Canada, think again. The CHRT has a number of complaints scheduled for hearings on the mandatory retirement issue, not just with Air Canada.
The first new hearing is a Tribunal hearing scheduled in June in Montreal with a different Air Canada union:
CHRT - Hearings Schedule
In addition, there is a backlog of other cases before the Tribunal on the same issue, with respect to the trucking industry.
Essentially, all the mandatory retirement cases deal with the same issue already decided by the Tribunal in the Vilven-Kelly liability hearing, namely, can the employer rely on Section 15(1)(c) of the CHRA to involuntarily terminate the employment of all persons in a particular work category?
