The complainants in a jurisdictional dispute sought to amend their complaint by adding a request to alter the bargaining unit and by providing a more detailed description of the work in dispute.
The respondents opposed the amendments, arguing that the Board lacked jurisdiction to grant the requested relief and that the dispute could not be expanded beyond the original complaint.
The Board granted both motions, holding that it had jurisdiction under section 58 of its Rules of Procedure to permit the amendments and that arguments regarding the legal sustainability of the requested relief were premature at the commencement of the hearing.
