102. Subject to sections 123 and 123.1, an employee who believes that a right conferred on the employee by this Act or a regulation has been violated may file a complaint in writing with the Commission. Such a complaint may also be filed on behalf of an employee who consents thereto in writing by a non-profit organization dedicated to the defence of employees’ rights.
If an employee is subject to a collective agreement or a decree, the complainant must then prove to the Commission that the employee has exhausted their recourses arising out of that agreement or that decree, unless the complaint concerns a condition of employment prohibited by section 87.1; in the latter case, the complainant must prove to the Commission that the employee has not exercised such recourses or that, having exercised them, the employee discontinued proceedings before a final decision was rendered.
