The applicant filed a reprisal complaint under section 50 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
Prior to the hearing, the parties reached a settlement agreement to reinstate the applicant and refer the matter to arbitration.
The applicant subsequently changed his mind and sought to proceed before the Board.
The responding employer brought a motion requesting the Board decline to inquire into the complaint based on the settlement.
The Board granted the motion, finding no good reason to permit the applicant to resile from the freely entered settlement agreement, and directed the parties to proceed to arbitration.
