In a referral of a grievance to arbitration under section 133 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995, the Board heard three preliminary motions.
The Board denied the Carpenters' request for intervenor status, finding no benefit to their participation as their position aligned with the responding party's.
The Board also dismissed the responding party's motions to adjourn the matter pending the outcome of other grievances and to order the applicant to provide further particulars, concluding that the grievances lacked factual overlap and sufficient particulars had already been provided.
