Labour groups say council broke law

Several labour groups allege Edmonton city council broke the law when it voted behind closed doors to sell off some publicly owned assets.

Lawyers for the groups will be in court tomorrow to argue that the privatization of Epcor's power generation should be declared invalid. The assets were spun into a new publicly traded company called Capital Power.

The Alberta Federation of Labour and the city's two largest unions are among the groups challenging the sale.
