The applicant employee filed an application to terminate the bargaining rights of the responding party union.
The union alleged that the employer initiated the application in breach of section 63(16) of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.
The Board found that the employer's owners asked the applicant to file the application, assisted in preparing his submissions, and promised to pay him $1,000 if successful.
Concluding that the employer initiated the application, the Board exercised its discretion under section 63(16) to dismiss the termination application.
