Facts of the Case
Background
The respondent was employed as a caretaker by the appellant association. He reported an unfair labour practice dispute which was referred to the NEC for Commercial Sectors. The Designated Agent found in favour of the respondent, determining the appellant's business fell within commercial sectors jurisdiction. The appellant appealed, arguing the Designated Agent lacked jurisdiction and that money collected by respondent from tenants should offset any salary shortfalls.
