The complainant filed a complaint under the Occupational Health and Safety Act alleging he was discharged for raising a safety concern.
The parties reached a written settlement agreement during a meeting with a Labour Relations Officer, under which the complainant was to be reinstated without back pay.
The respondent's president subsequently vetoed the settlement and refused to reinstate the complainant.
The Board found that the respondent's representative had the authority to settle the complaint and that the settlement was binding.
The Board ordered the respondent to comply with the settlement by reinstating the complainant and compensating him for wages and benefits lost due to the breach.
