Radisson Blu Vancouver Airport Hotel and, in particular, majority owner Sukhminder Rai breached the labour code by intimidating and threatening strikers on the picket line, according to a recent decision by the BC Labour Relations Board.
This happened on multiple occasions, according to Gurleen Sahota, vice chair of the board, on the case involving UNITE HERE Local 40.
In one instance, Ravinder Nijjer, who worked in the employer’s maintenance department, said Rai told him: “The day after I settle, you know, I can fire you.”
