The complainant filed an unfair labour practice complaint alleging he was discharged for union activity.
The employer argued the complaint was barred because the complainant had signed a full and final release in exchange for two weeks' pay, negotiated with the assistance of an Employment Standards Officer.
The Board found that the complainant understood he was signing a release of all claims against the employer and that the employer had not taken advantage of its superior bargaining position.
The Board exercised its discretion under section 89(4) of the Labour Relations Act to decline to hear the complaint, and dismissed it.
