CPC asks for injunction

While Canada Post did not have the "sérénité nécessaire" to consult with the Union, they did have enough "sérénité nécessaire" to consult with their lawyers and apply to the Québec Superior Court for an injunction on November 8. The application was heard on November 10.

The judge took into consideration the union's commitment to not picket or demonstrate at Canada Post management's homes throughout the province of Quebec until December 9, 2005. Given these circumstances, the court did not issue an order because it was no longer necessary or urgent. The application for an injunction was thus declared "moot".

Whatever the Canada Post director had in his glass was pretty good stuff. In his sworn affidavit to the court, the Canada Post director named the Québec Regional Education and Organization Officer as one of the demonstrators. This particular union officer was in fact, on the evening in question, in Ottawa 450 kilometers away, attending a meeting of the National Executive Board.
