The applicant, a former senior cash clerk at Goodwill Industries, filed an application alleging that her union violated section 74 of the Labour Relations Act by breaching its duty of fair representation.
The applicant was terminated after private detectives reported she failed to ring in cash transactions.
The employer offered to withhold criminal charges if she resigned.
The applicant alleged her union steward coerced her into resigning and provided reckless advice.
The Board dismissed the application, finding that the union steward did not act in an arbitrary, discriminatory, or bad faith manner, and that the applicant made an informed decision to resign after consulting with a friend.
