The complainant filed a complaint about two matters: the first was that the bargaining agent did not properly deal with his complaints against the president of its relevant component, and the second was about being suspended from the component – he withdrew his appeal of the suspension when he retired – the Board ruled that it was without jurisdiction over complaints relating to the operation of the bargaining agent and its component – the Board also ruled that it was without jurisdiction over the suspension complaint, since the complainant had failed to exhaust the internal review and appeal mechanisms.

Complaint dismissed.
