The applicant, a former union official, was terminated by his employer for allegedly attempting to extort $150,000 in exchange for facilitating an undisruptive collective bargaining process.
The union reviewed video evidence provided by the employer and heard contradictory explanations from the applicant before deciding not to pursue his grievance.
The applicant filed a duty of fair representation complaint.
The Board dismissed the application, finding that the union's investigation was reasonable and its decision not to advance the grievance did not violate section 74 of the Labour Relations Act.
