The complainant, a manufacturer of diffusers, brought a complaint under section 91 of the Labour Relations Act alleging a work assignment dispute.
The respondent union had filed a grievance against a contractor, Megatech, alleging a violation of a subcontracting clause for purchasing diffusers from the complainant.
The Board held that it lacked jurisdiction under subsection 91(1) to entertain the complaint because the respondent union did not require the complainant to assign the work to its members, nor did it use Megatech as an agent to do so.
The complaint was dismissed.
