The applicant, a union member, filed an application alleging that his union breached section 75 of the Labour Relations Act by improperly referring other members ahead of him on the out-of-work list to jobs at a Honda assembly plant.
The Board dismissed the application on two grounds.
First, the referrals were not made pursuant to a collective agreement, as the union was not bound by the collective agreement governing the work.
Second, the applicant lacked standing to complain because he was too far down the out-of-work list to have been referred even if the union had followed its procedures correctly.
