3771-99-U Edward Carson, Applicant v. Teamsters Local 880, Responding Party.
BEFORE: Patrick Kelly, Vice-Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; May 9, 2000
A draft of a decision dated May 5, 2000 was issued to the parties inadverently.
The Board hereby revokes that draft decision and replaces it with the following.
By decision dated April 4, 2000, the Board directed the applicant to provide written submissions concerning the responding party’s allegation that the Board has no jurisdiction to deal with this matter.
The applicant filed submissions which do not address the issue cited by the responding party. The applicant does not appear to take any position concerning the Board’s jurisdiction in this matter, other than to claim that a lawyer to which the applicant spoke advised him to file the current application with the Board.
In the circumstances, and given that the Board has on at least two occasions received applications naming Brink’s Canada Ltd. as a party, the Board directs the responding party to file submissions explaining the basis for its claim that the Board is without jurisdiction to deal with this matter. Those submissions are to be provided to the Board and to the applicant on or before May 23, 2000.
Upon receipt of the responding party’s submissions, the Board will consider the responding party’s request to dismiss this matter without a hearing.
I am seized to deal with the submissions of the responding party.
“Patrick Kelly”
for the Board
