The applicant, a former professional hockey goaltender, filed an application alleging the respondent union violated its duty of fair representation by withdrawing his grievance regarding unpaid salary.
The respondent and intervenor raised a preliminary objection to the Board's jurisdiction.
The Board found that the applicant's employment was entirely in the United States and lacked a substantial connection to Ontario.
The fact that the union's head office is in Ontario did not confer jurisdiction.
The application was dismissed.
