Shehzad v. Langara College: Understanding Jurisdiction in Unionized Employment Disputes
In Shehzad v. Langara College (2025 BCSC 935), the Supreme Court of British Columbia dismissed a civil claim brought by a unionized employee, ruling that the dispute fell within the exclusive jurisdiction of the collective agreement. The case highlights that even claims involving privacy or reputational harm may need to be resolved through union grievance procedures, not civil courts. Employees must turn to the Labour Relations Board for union-related concerns.
