Request for reconsideration of interim decision regarding ratification of arbitrated collective agreements dismissed.
The applicant requested reconsideration of an interim decision that dismissed his argument that the exception to the ratification requirement in section 44(2)(a) of the Labour Relations Act, 1995 does not apply to a collective agreement concluded by voluntary arbitration under section 40.
The Board found no obvious errors of fact or law in its previous decision and clarified that section 43(18) limits matters for involuntary third-party resolution, unlike voluntary arbitration.
The Board also noted that the applicant's section 74 duty of fair representation complaint would still proceed to a hearing on the merits.
The request for reconsideration was dismissed.
