2145-00-U Lloyd Vincent Daley, Applicant v. DaimlerChrysler Canada Inc., CAW Local 1285, Responding Parties.
BEFORE: David A. McKee, Vice-Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; July 23, 2001
1This is an application under section 96 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995, S.O. 1995 ch.1 (the “Act”) in which the applicant alleges that his bargaining agent has violated the duty of fair representation set out in section 74 of the Act. On January 4, 2001, the Board issued a decision requiring the applicant to distil the essence of his complaint against his union into a brief, coherent, and relevant statement of facts.
2As of the date of this decision, more than six months later, he has not done so. The Board has a discretion not to inquire into any allegation of a violation of the Act under section 96. In this case, the Board declines to process an application which is incoherent, and largely concerned with legal issues which are beyond the Board’s jurisdiction in any event.
3This application is dismissed.
“David A. McKee”
for the Board
