from Robert Cribb of the Toronto Star,
Former NHL referee Dean Warren is taking the league to the Ontario Labour Relations Board claiming he was wrongfully fired for his union advocacy on behalf of his black-and-white striped colleagues.
Warren, a Toronto native who learned the ropes officiating in the Greater Toronto Hockey League, will appear at a labour relations board hearing tomorrow.
He is alleging the league fired him in April 2008 for his “union activity” with the National Hockey League Officials Association.
The NHL argues in written submissions that Warren was fired for “substandard performance.”
