During a hearing for an application for certification, an issue arose during the cross-examination of a witness regarding a non-pay allegation.
The union requested that the witness be compelled to create twenty specimen signatures or produce documents containing twenty original signatures for comparison by an expert witness.
The Board ruled that the witness had the right to consult with counsel during his testimony under the Statutory Powers Procedure Act.
The Board declined to compel the creation of new specimen signatures but directed the witness to produce existing documents in his possession containing twenty original signatures to facilitate the hearing.
