Description

Employees in many public bodies are represented by exclusive bargaining agents. In 2002 the Alberta Labour Relations Board (the “Board”) issued a series of decisions that considered the issue of whether the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the FOIP Act) is a barrier to disclosing employee personal information to a bargaining agent. This Bulletin will discuss the effect of this series of decisions. This Bulletin takes into consideration decisions issued by the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta up to November 30, 2003.
