The Federal Public Sector Labour Relations and Employment Board dismissed a grievance alleging retaliation over an asbestos workplace complaint because it was filed almost 7 years after the events, beyond the collective agreement's 25 day limit. The employee provided no adequate explanation for the years after his return to work and had neither an agreed extension nor an application for one. The board did not decide the retaliation allegation on its merits.
