Facts of the Case
Background
The respondent employee was dismissed after failing to attend disciplinary hearings while on bail for theft charges. He referred an unfair dismissal dispute to arbitration, where the arbitrator found the dismissal unfair and ordered reinstatement or damages. The appellant employer appealed, arguing the arbitrator erred in allowing trade union representation when the respondent was not a union member.
