The applicant filed a duty of fair representation complaint against the union for its decision not to advance his discharge grievance to arbitration.
The applicant was discharged for allegedly smoking marijuana on duty, which he denied.
Following an initial consultation, the Board determined it could not finally dispose of the matter based solely on the information provided.
The Board directed that the consultation continue, requiring the union to call evidence subject to cross-examination to establish the basis for its decision not to arbitrate the grievance.
