The applicant union filed a grievance referral and an unfair labour practice complaint against the employer and a rival union.
The responding union raised a preliminary objection, arguing the matter was essentially a jurisdictional dispute over work assignment that should be dealt with under section 99 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.
The Board agreed and deferred the applications pending the filing and disposition of a section 99 application.
The Board also addressed a request to add two individuals as responding parties, declining to add them at this time due to lack of service, but dismissing the responding union's objection to their addition.
