The union brought an application under section 69 and subsection 1(4) of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.
At the commencement of the hearing, the union requested an order for the production of documents from two of the responding parties who did not appear.
The Board ordered the non-appearing responding parties to provide the union with reasonable access to the requested documents for inspection and photocopying, noting the implied undertaking that the documents not be used for a collateral or ulterior purpose.
