The applicant union applied under section 124 of the Labour Relations Act alleging the respondents failed to comply with a collective agreement.
The union served subpoenas on two witnesses, who failed to appear at two scheduled hearings.
The union requested a bench warrant to ensure their attendance.
The Board, acting under section 103(2)(a) of the Act, found it had the authority to enforce the attendance of witnesses in the same manner as a court of record in civil cases.
Satisfied that the witnesses were properly served and their evidence was material, the Board issued a warrant for their arrest to bring them before the Board.
