The applicant union filed a grievance under section 124 of the Labour Relations Act.
At the scheduled hearing, the respondent employer failed to appear.
Two principals of the respondent company, who had been properly served with subpoenas and conduct money by the applicant, also failed to attend.
The applicant requested bench warrants for their arrest.
The Board, relying on its powers under section 103(2)(a) of the Act to enforce the attendance of witnesses in the same manner as a court of record in civil cases, issued warrants for the arrest of the two defaulting witnesses and adjourned the hearing.
