A smaller company ClaimSercure had been pulling this shit with Rexall. Is it time for unions to test Canada’s antitrust laws?

I don’t know unions would have standing for a lawsuit - wouldn’t the lawsuit have to be filed by a competitor?

I presume there would be an employer with unionized employees who uses Manulife as their insurance provider.

Yes, I suppose we will. It’s pretty sad that this kind of thing isn’t already illegal.
