Duty of fair representation complaint dismissed due to unreasonable delay and lack of prima facie case.

The applicant filed a complaint alleging the union breached its duty of fair representation under section 74 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995 by refusing to advance his seniority grievance to arbitration.

The union and employer requested the application be dismissed for delay and for failing to make out a prima facie case.

The Board found the applicant's delay of over one year after learning the union would not proceed was unreasonable.

Furthermore, the union's decision not to arbitrate was based on having lost three similar grievances at arbitration, which did not constitute arbitrary, discriminatory, or bad faith conduct.

The application was dismissed.
