The complainant, a unionized painter, alleged that his union breached section 69 of the Labour Relations Act by failing to refer him to a job opening at a company where he had previously worked.
The union's business manager had referred other out-of-work members who had established relationships with the company and had been part of its crew in the previous season.
The Board found that the hiring hall was not operated on a strict 'first in, first out' basis, and that the business manager's exercise of discretion in balancing various equitable factors was not arbitrary, discriminatory, or in bad faith.
The complaint was dismissed.
