The employer and the bargaining agent entered into a global agreement concerning notably a change to how vacation leave was scheduled – the complainant was disadvantaged by the change– he knew by June or July2006 that the union would not support him in his grievance against the new practice– in February2007, he filed a complaint against the union for failing to represent him– he later added the employer as a respondent, alleging unfair labour practices– the Board concluded that the complaint had been filed well after the time limit set out in the Act.

Complaint dismissed.
