The applicant filed a duty of fair representation complaint against his union after resigning from his employment.
He alleged the union failed to support him regarding workplace discipline and a subsequent demotion.
The Board dismissed the application, finding that the applicant had withdrawn an earlier grievance and failed to seek the union's assistance for several months despite ongoing employment issues.
When he finally approached the union, it was to advance an unmeritorious claim for higher pay while performing lower-rated work.
The Board concluded the union did not act arbitrarily, discriminatorily, or in bad faith.
