NP says Onex's WestJet prevails in sex harassment case

2026-02-04 08:53 ET - In the News

The National Post reports in its Wednesday edition that a longtime WestJet employee who won a grievance over his firing for sexual harassment has had his victory overturned in court. The Post's Adrian Humphreys writes that the Federal Court of Appeal ruled that a Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) decision that the man's comments were not sexual in nature and therefore not sexual harassment was unreasonable. The airline now has another chance of having him dismissed with cause and not have to pay him restitution, as the CIRB had ordered. The case ends a strange, long-running dispute over the boundaries of workplace interactions. The male worker was a former airline pilot employed by WestJet in several capacities over the years, ending as an adviser in an office unit. He had 23 years of service. He was not part of a flight crew at the time of the complaints. He was fired in 2021 after a WestJet investigation of a female co-worker's harassment complaint. He challenged the decision to the CIRB and the adjudicator deemed his conduct unworthy of firing in 2023. WestJet appealed. At the board hearing, female colleagues described his repeated comments and questions as cringeworthy, inappropriate, tone-deaf and creepy.
