Motion to dismiss unfair labour practice complaint denied as core allegations established a prima facie case.

The Labourers applied for certification to displace the Carpenters as the bargaining agent for employees of the employer.

The Carpenters filed an unfair labour practice complaint alleging the employer colluded with the Labourers by removing two carpenters from the bargaining unit and replacing them with employees who would vote for the Labourers.

The employer and the Labourers brought a motion to dismiss the complaint for failing to disclose a prima facie case.

The Board struck late allegations filed by the Carpenters but found that the core allegations narrowly made out a prima facie case, particularly given the reverse onus in section 96(5) of the Act.

The motion to dismiss was denied and the complaint was directed to proceed to a hearing.

Certification application for separate paramedic bargaining unit dismissed as untimely and inappropriate following municipal amalgamation.

OPSEU applied for certification to represent a bargaining unit of paramedic employees who became employed by the newly amalgamated City of Ottawa on January 1, 2001.

CUPE, which had previously reached an agreement with the Ottawa Transition Board to represent a comprehensive Outside/Inside bargaining unit, argued that OPSEU's application was untimely and that the paramedics fell within its unit.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board found that OPSEU's application was untimely under the Public Sector Labour Relations Transition Act, 1997, as it was filed during a barred period.

Furthermore, the Board determined that even if the application were timely, a separate paramedic bargaining unit would not be appropriate as it would unnecessarily fragment the workforce, and the paramedics properly fell within CUPE's existing comprehensive unit.

The certification application was dismissed.

Representation vote set aside and new vote ordered due to employer-sponsored intimidation and death threats.

The union filed an unfair labour practice complaint and sought to set aside a representation vote that resulted in a tie.

The union alleged that the employer hired two individuals, who were known gang members, to intimidate and threaten union organizers and supporters with violence, including death threats, if the union won the vote.

The Board found that the employer was responsible for the intimidation, which violated several sections of the Labour Relations Act.

The Board set aside the representation vote, ordered a new vote, and granted extensive remedial relief, including union access to the workplace and reimbursement of organizing costs.
