The applicant filed an application for decertification under section 63 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.
The responding party union argued the application was untimely.
The Board previously held the application appeared timely, as it was filed exactly one year after the date of certification.
The union requested to make full submissions on the timeliness issue at the scheduled hearing.
The Board deferred the issue of timeliness to the panel hearing the matter on June 18, 2001, and noted that the current panel does not remain seized.
