J. Rundle — Board Member

OLRBNov 21, 1988

Board grants municipal-wide bargaining unit for cleaning contractor and dismisses employer's intimidation allegations.

The applicant union applied for certification for employees of the respondent cleaning contractor.

The employer argued that the bargaining unit should be limited to a specific street location, while the union sought a municipal-wide unit.

The Board applied its usual practice and granted a municipal-wide unit, finding no compelling reason to depart from it despite the employer being in the contract cleaning industry.

The Board also dismissed the employer's allegations that the union intimidated employees or misrepresented job security, finding no prima facie case of a section 70 violation.

A certificate was issued to the applicant.

Canadian Union of Postal Workers v. Best Cleaners and Contractors Limited, 1988 CanLII 3706

OLRBMar 5, 1987

Applications for religious exemption from union dues dismissed as objections were primarily based on secular views.

Six employees applied under section 47 of the Labour Relations Act for an exemption from paying union dues on the basis of their religious convictions.

Three applications were dismissed without a hearing or for non-appearance.

The remaining three applicants, who were born-again Christians, testified that their religious beliefs prevented them from supporting a union.

The Board found that while the applicants were sincerely religious, their opposition to unions was primarily based on secular, social, and economic views rather than their religious beliefs.

The Board concluded that the applicants failed to establish a causal connection between their religious beliefs and their objection to paying dues.

The applications were dismissed.

Board refuses to delete 'employed in a nursing capacity' from nurses' craft bargaining unit description.

The Ontario Nurses' Association applied for certification and requested that the Board alter its normal bargaining unit description by deleting the words 'employed in a nursing capacity' pursuant to section 6(3) of the Labour Relations Act.

The union argued this would reduce litigation over whether certain positions fall within the unit.

The Board dismissed the request, holding that section 6(3) is designed to preserve historical craft bargaining patterns, not to extend them.

The Board certified the union for the traditional bargaining unit of nurses employed in a nursing capacity.

Ontario Nurses' Association v. Porcupine General Hospital, 1987 CanLII 3045

OLRBOct 27, 1986

Union certified without a vote as objecting employees failed to prove voluntariness of anti-union petitions.

The applicant trade union applied for certification and filed documentary evidence of membership for 14 of 18 employees in the bargaining unit.

A group of objecting employees filed 14 statements of desire (petitions) opposing certification, including 8 from employees who had previously signed union membership cards.

The Board found that the objecting employees failed to present sufficient firsthand evidence regarding the origination and circulation of 10 of the petitions, rendering them involuntary.

As only two voluntary petitions were from employees who had previously signed membership cards, the petitions did not cast sufficient doubt on the union's support to warrant a representation vote.

The Board granted outright certification.
