Unite Here 40 has been ordered to pay Civeo $500,000 in damages after defaming the company on a blog post that was found to be full of lies about Civeo's relationship with Indigenous people.An arbitrator ruled that the union's allegations against Civeo were “a complete fabrication”.From the story:“Civeo has a very good reputation with respect to its relations with First Nations… which is seriously threatened by the claim that Civeo has broken its promises to First Nations,” he said, adding that the conduct “merits a substantial award of punitive damages.”He ordered the union pay $400,000 in general damages and $100,000 in punitive damages, and to retract the defamatory comments... No retraction is currently posted on the union’s website. ... See MoreSee Less
