An Alberta judge has granted police the ability to enforce a court ruling to remove Unifor barricades at Federated Co-operatives Limited’s (FCL) fuel distribution terminal in Carseland, Alta.
On Thursday, the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench in Calgary granted FCL’s request for an injunction against the union blockade.
In a news release, Co-op said the blockade remained in place and the company returned to court on Friday requesting an amendment “to add police enforcement clauses that better aid the RCMP to enforce the order, and to add a clause that allows a bailiff to remove the fences, vehicles and other obstacles blocking entry to the facility if Unifor fails to remove them.”
“Justice Campbell granted these requests to amend the interim injunction order, stating Unifor is not above the law. She stated that this flouting of court orders is completely unacceptable; it cannot and will not be tolerated in Alberta,” FCL said.
