Second representation vote ordered after a segregated ballot was inadvertently opened, revealing an employee's choice.

During a union certification representation vote, a segregated ballot was inadvertently opened, revealing an employee's choice.

The employee, who was related to management, subsequently faced pressure from the employer and requested a new vote.

The union argued that the employer's knowledge of the employee's support would impede a free second vote and requested certification under section 7a of the Labour Relations Act.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board ordered a second representation vote, emphasizing the paramount importance of the secret ballot and finding that the isolated family flare-up did not justify certification without a vote.

Board affirms its decision rejecting anti-union petitions after reconsidering evidence without impugned testimony.

The group of objectors requested the Board to reconsider its decision finding that statements of desire (petitions) opposing the union's certification were not voluntary.

The objectors argued the Board improperly relied on testimony from a witness who did not testify in the certification portion of the proceedings.

The Board determined it had jurisdiction to reconsider the matter itself without referring it to a new panel.

Upon reviewing the evidence afresh and explicitly excluding the impugned testimony, the Board concluded that the active involvement of management and the extensive petition-related activities of an employee during working hours created a perception of employer support.

The Board affirmed its original decision that the petitions were not voluntary.

Ontario Public Service Employees Union v. Art Gallery of Ontario, 1980 CanLII 757

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardFeb 8, 1980

Application granted declaring voluntary recognition agreement inoperative as union lacked majority employee support.

The applicant and a group of employees applied under section 52 of the Labour Relations Act for a declaration that the respondent trade union was not entitled to represent the employees in the bargaining unit at the time it entered into a voluntary recognition agreement with the employer.

The employer did not appear or file employee lists.

The Board found that the onus of establishing entitlement rested on the parties to the agreement.

Evidence showed that at the time the agreement was signed, there were 20 employees in the bargaining unit, but the union only had support from six employees due to several resignations from membership prior to the agreement's execution.

As the union did not represent a simple majority, the Board granted the application, declaring the union was not entitled to represent the employees, and the voluntary recognition agreement ceased to operate.
