and disclosure of personal information by a trade union in a labor
dispute after the Supreme Court of Canada's November 2013
decision in Alberta v. United Food and Commercial Workers,
Local 401 to provisionally invalidate the Personal
Information Protection Act because the Act improperly restricted
union activity.
