The applicant union referred a construction industry grievance to the Board under section 124 of the Labour Relations Act.
The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, Local 27 sought to intervene in the proceedings, arguing it had a long-standing bargaining relationship with the respondent and could offer insight into the respondent's construction activities.
The Board denied standing, finding that Local 27 was a stranger to the provincial agreement being grieved and had no legal right to participate.
The Board declined to exercise its discretion to grant standing, noting that doing so based on the precedential value of the decision would needlessly complicate proceedings.
