Other Personal Information Banks
Other case files and subject files held by the Case Management Secretariat may contain personal information such as names of individuals, addresses, position titles, job descriptions, salaries, and membership in a trade union. The information is not retrievable by personal identifiers and is collected solely for the purpose of administering the Canada Labour Code. All files are organized by file number and are maintained by the Case Management Secretariat at headquarters in Ottawa. Regional offices retain duplicate files for the purposes of investigation until the settlement of a case. Some personal information such as job descriptions and salaries may be published in written judgments where it is pertinent to the background of a case in which the Board decides its decision requires formal elaboration. Such information is usually the result of testimony given at public hearings.
