The applicants requested leave to withdraw parts of their complaints against the union and individual respondents, citing alleged threats and potential physical harm to witnesses by one of the respondents.
The Ontario Labour Relations Board declined to grant the withdrawals at this stage, noting that such conduct is prohibited by the Labour Relations Act, 1995 and raises concerns regarding the integrity of the Board's processes.
The Board directed the applicants to provide particulars of the alleged threats within ten days, failing which the allegations may be dismissed.
