OTTAWA — The federal labour board has found low turnout and irregularities of"significant concern" with the strike vote that led more than 100,000 public servants to walk off the job this week.
Members of the union received notice of a strike vote via email on Jan. 23, and voting began on Feb. 22. The labour board decision arose from a complaint by a public servant who asked the board to overturn the result of the vote after he was unable to cast his ballot. "The irregularities are of significant concern, and with different numbers, they could have resulted in the invalidation of the strike vote."
