McMullen v. Local 118 [2003] B.C.L.R.B.D. No. 266 (BC Labour Relations Board)

First of two decisions.  Duty of fair representation complaint by the member (McMullen) alleging “arbitrary conduct; grossly negligent representation” including “failure to defend free speech in the workplace” and failure to properly advise “by adopting poor tactical positions and/or giving poor advice”.  The Board dismissed the complaint as no more than a series of allegations and a listing of documents.  None of the allegations were supported by a sufficient level of detail to determine whether an apparent contravention of the Code had occurred.
