The applicant union referred a grievance to the Ontario Labour Relations Board under section 133 of the Labour Relations Act, alleging the responding employer violated the collective agreement by subcontracting work to a non-union contractor.
The responding party failed to file a Request for Hearing and Notice of Intent to Defend.
Pursuant to the Board's Rules of Procedure, the Board deemed the facts in the application accepted and found the employer liable for the violation.
However, the Board found the applicant provided insufficient information to assess the $4,500 in claimed damages, and scheduled a hearing solely to determine the quantum of damages.
