Decision

THE COMPLAINTS ARE DISMISSED.

Consideration 9

Extract:

"the Tribunal holds that the complaints before it are clearly irreceivable. The complainant has not exhausted his internal remedies and has not given the [organization] sufficient time to respond to those matters which have formed the subject of his internal claims. [A] complainant who changes the form and content of his internal claims cannot lay on his employer the responsibility of replying to an original set of claims while still retaining whatever benefits may flow to him from an amended one."
