A Canadian court has ordered UFCW Canada to post a copy of the union's constitution on its official Web site.

The order came as part of an ongoing lawsuit in which the UFCW is suing a a part-time shipping clerk for placing a copy of the constitution on his Geocities Web site.

The court also ordered the clerk to remove the constitution from his site (the UFCW claims it holds copyright). The clerk, a union member, alleges that he put the constitution on his site after being refused a copy by his union.

The UFCW had been seeking to shut the clerk's site down, but the court has allowed it to remain operating until the trial. The UFCW is also suing the clerk for defamation.

The court also stipulated that if the UFCW fails to place the constitution on its site within four months, the clerk may place it on another site.
