Intervening union directed to file jurisdictional dispute application within 30 days per Board practice.
The applicant union referred a grievance under s. 133 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995, which the parties agreed was essentially a jurisdictional dispute over work assigned to the intervenor union.
The parties agreed to adjourn the grievance pending the determination of the jurisdictional dispute but could not agree on who should file the jurisdictional dispute application.
The Board directed that, in accordance with its past practice, the intervening union must file the jurisdictional dispute application within 30 days, as it otherwise has no status to participate in the grievance proceeding.
