0431-01-U Mr. Frank Villella, Applicant v. IBEW Local 636, Responding Party v. Chubb Security Systems, Intervenor.
BEFORE: Patrick Kelly, Vice-Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; June 19, 2001
1The Board is in receipt of correspondence dated June 14, 2001 and June 15, 2001 from the applicant. The applicant takes issue with the responses filed by the responding party (“the union”) and the intervenor. He asks that the Board issue orders and/or rulings in respect of what he considers to be discriminatory statements contained within the responses.
2I decline to grant the applicant’s request. The applicant appears to be sincerely offended by the statements, but there is no legal basis for the orders requested.
3The Board is also in receipt of correspondence dated June 14, 2001 from counsel for the intervenor, in which it is contended that the applicant’s letter raises certain allegations related to the Occupational Health and Safety Act that the Board (differently constituted) previously dismissed in its decision of May 31, 2001. Counsel argues that the applicant may not rely upon those allegations, or, in the alternative, that if the Board is prepared to consider those allegations, the intervenor intends to file a further response.
4The applicant cannot rely upon the same or similar health and safety concerns originally set out in his application as part of his complaint against the union. The Board made that clear in its May 31, 2001 decision, when it dismissed the application insofar as it pertained to the union’s obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. There is no need for the intervenor to file a further response.
“Patrick Kelly”
for the Board
