The applicant union referred three grievances to arbitration under section 133 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995, alleging the responding party failed to make required deductions and contributions to benefit plans.
The responding party failed to file a notice of intent to defend or pay the required fee to participate.
The principal of the responding party attended the hearing pursuant to an arrest warrant after ignoring a summons to witness, but failed to bring all required documents.
The principal admitted to being bound by the collective agreement and violating it, but disputed the amount owing.
The Board adjourned the hearing to allow the applicant to review documents that the responding party's counsel undertook to provide, and rescheduled the matter.
