The applicant filed an application to terminate the bargaining rights of the responding union.
The union argued the application was untimely because it was filed with Priority Courier after business hours on the last day of the open period, and because it was not delivered to the union within the required two days.
The Board found the application was filed on time, as the date of filing is the date it is accepted by Priority Courier.
However, the applicant failed to deliver the application to the union within two days of filing as required by the Rules.
The Board declined to relieve against the strict application of the delivery rules, noting the statutory requirement for expedition in termination applications.
The application was dismissed.
