The federal labour board denied an RCMP sergeant's grievance challenging management restrictions imposed after disciplinary proceedings because it was filed outside the collective agreement's 35 day limit. Waiting for records explaining the decision didn't delay the filing deadline, and the agreement's general management rights clause couldn't independently support a grievance about discipline governed by the RCMP Act.
