A Canadian Coast Guard captain who lost his job after he was accused of ignoring a distress call has lost a Federal Labour Relations Board grievance he filed to protest his firing.
Louis Callaghan was the captain of a Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) ship patrolling the coast of Prince Edward Island on May 13, 2024, when a fishing vessel ran aground in nearby Malpeque Harbour, and was taking on water, adjudicator Christopher Rootham of the Federal Public Sector Labour Relations and Employment Board noted in the Jan. 30 decision.
