The applicant filed an application for termination of bargaining rights.
The respondent union moved to dismiss the application as untimely because it was filed after a conciliation officer had been appointed.
The intervener employer argued the appointment of the conciliation officer was a nullity due to defective service.
The Board held that administrative defects in service do not invalidate the appointment of a conciliation officer and that the employer had waived any irregularity by participating in conciliation.
The application was dismissed as untimely.
