Canadian Court Rejects Attempt To Divert Union Dues For Religious Reasons
According to Life Site News, yesterday Canada's Federal Court of Appeals rejected an attempt by an employee of the Treasury Board of Canada to divert her union dues to charity because of her religious objections to the union's support for homosexual marriage. By a 3-0 ruling, the court affirmed the lower court's refusal to allow Catholic employee Susan Comstock to accommodate her religious objections to the stand taken by her union, the Public Service Alliance of Canada.
