The complainant sought compensation following an arbitration award that reinstated him without compensation, alleging a conflict of interest by the union's counsel.
At the hearing before the Ontario Labour Relations Board, the complainant's counsel requested an adjournment because the complainant was allegedly out of the jurisdiction.
The respondent and intervener opposed the adjournment, noting the complainant had been in Toronto just days prior.
The Board denied the adjournment request due to lack of direct knowledge by counsel and short notice.
As no evidence or representations were made regarding the compensation claim, the request for relief was dismissed.
