Complaint regarding adequacy of union's financial statement dismissed as statutory requirements were met.
The complainant, a union member, alleged that the respondent trade union failed to provide him with an adequate audited financial statement upon request, contrary to section 76 of the Labour Relations Act.
Specifically, the complainant sought detailed information regarding lost time wages, expenses, salaries, and entertainment.
The Board heard expert accounting evidence that the financial statement provided was adequate and conformed to professional standards.
The Board found that the union had satisfied the statutory requirements and that the complainant could seek the detailed information he desired through the union's internal procedures at monthly membership meetings.
The complaint was dismissed.
