Alberta Appeal Court upholds union contempt ruling and limits its speech ban
Alberta's Court of Appeal upheld a civil contempt finding against the Alberta Union of Public Employees for disobeying labour board orders during a prison guards strike. It overturned part of a prior ruling that barred the union from supporting the strike or publishing strike news, saying the speech restrictions went too far and did not ensure workers return to work. Union president Guy Smith welcomed the removal of the gag, noting the ruling still leaves the contempt finding intact.
