Request to amend certificate for employer name change dismissed as unnecessary because certificate is spent.
The parties submitted a joint application requesting the Board to amend a 1980 certificate to reflect a change in the employer's corporate name from Ault Foods Limited to Catelli Inc. The Board treated the request as an application for reconsideration under section 106(1) of the Labour Relations Act.
The Board dismissed the request, noting that a certificate is spent once a collective agreement is negotiated, and the parties are free to amend their collective agreement to reflect the name change.
If a sale of business occurred, successor rights under section 63 would apply automatically.
