Board grants related employer declaration for three fish distribution companies under common control.

The union applied for a declaration under section 1(4) of the Labour Relations Act that three fish distribution companies—Booth Fisheries, Van Home Fish Distributors, and Groupe La Mer—constitute a single employer.

The Board found that the companies were under the common control and direction of the same individual and engaged in associated or related activities.

Because bargaining unit work had been diverted from the unionized company to the newly created non-unionized company, the Board exercised its discretion to grant the related employer declaration to prevent the erosion of bargaining rights.

Board enforces Minutes of Settlement for unpaid remittances after employer fails to appear.

The applicant union referred a grievance to the Board under section 124 of the Labour Relations Act.

The parties had previously signed Minutes of Settlement in which the employer acknowledged violating the collective agreement by failing to make required remittances and agreed to pay $11,432.44.

The employer failed to appear at the hearing and failed to pay the agreed amount.

The Board found it had jurisdiction to enforce the settlement, declared the employer in violation of the collective agreement and the settlement, and ordered the employer to pay the agreed damages plus interest.

First collective agreement directed to arbitration due to employer's unjustified uncompromising position on benefits.

The union applied for a direction that a first collective agreement for part-time employees be settled by arbitration under section 40a of the Labour Relations Act.

The employer conceded that collective bargaining had been unsuccessful and that it had adopted an uncompromising position regarding benefits.

The Board found that the employer lacked reasonable justification for its uncompromising stance, as its offer was not a 'cadillac' agreement and its fears of setting a precedent for full-time units were unfounded.

The Board directed the settlement of the first collective agreement by arbitration.

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJan 8, 1991

Employer's late tabling of a proposal following an unexpected arbitration award did not constitute bad faith bargaining.

The union filed an unfair labour practice complaint alleging the employer bargained in bad faith by tabling a new proposal regarding vacation pay after conciliation and the issuance of a 'no board' report.

The employer introduced the proposal immediately after receiving an arbitration award that interpreted the existing vacation pay language contrary to its past practice.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board dismissed the complaint, finding that while the employer's actions might cause uncertainty, they did not constitute an attempt to thwart the collective bargaining process or avoid a collective agreement.

Security supervisor included in bargaining unit as he did not exercise managerial functions.

The union applied for certification of a bargaining unit of security guards.

The sole issue was whether a security supervisor, Mr. Batchelor, should be excluded from the unit under section 1(3)(b) of the Labour Relations Act because he exercised managerial functions.

The Board found that Mr. Batchelor functioned as a 'lead hand' rather than a manager, as he did not have independent authority to hire, fire, set schedules, or approve overtime.

The Board concluded he was an employee within the meaning of the Act and included him in the bargaining unit.

The Board also dismissed the employer's request to reconsider an interim evidentiary ruling.

Board directed employer to post decision after failing to timely post representation vote report.

Following a representation vote where more than fifty percent of ballots were cast in favour of the applicant union, the Board noted that the employer failed to post Form 70 and the Officer's Report in a timely manner.

The Board directed the employer to post the decision and provided a fifteen-day period for any party to file a statement of desire to make representations regarding the vote or the report.

If no statement is received, a certificate will issue to the applicant.
