The applicant union filed an unfair labour practice complaint alleging that the responding party company retaliated against it for referring a dispute to arbitration by restricting employees' ability to take vacation prior to or during a statutory holiday week.
The union requested an expedited hearing because the company refused to clarify its position on future statutory holidays, including Thanksgiving.
The Board declined the request for an expedited hearing, noting that the employees would not lose their actual vacation entitlement and any harm could be remedied in the normal course.
The Board directed a Labour Relations Officer to consult with the parties.
