## Resource

Female police officers in British Columbia are fighting back against systemic harassment and discrimination—but the courts say their case belongs in union grievance procedures, not the courtroom. After alleging a “poisoned police culture” that ignored their complaints, they sought a class-action lawsuit to hold municipalities accountable. But the B.C. Court of Appeal sided with the lower court, ruling that labor laws grant exclusive jurisdiction to union grievance processes for these workplace disputes. The judges found no significant errors in the original ruling, leaving officers with no choice but to pursue resolution through their union’s internal channels—highlighting how collective bargaining agreements trump public litigation in these cases.
