Rachel Younan successfully defended Air Canada against allegations by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW) that it was precluded from terminating the employment of five bargaining unit employees under the Canada Labour Code as the IAMAW argued their absence was due to a work-related injury or illness. The arbitrator agreed that none of the employees’ current absences from work were due to a work-related injury or illness, notwithstanding the existence of work-related injuries in the past for a number of the employees.
