York Region Board of Education v. York Region Women Teachers' Association, 1993 CanLII 5417

Individual employees represented by a union lack standing to intervene in pay equity plan proceedings.

A group of individual teachers sought standing to participate in Pay Equity Hearings Tribunal proceedings regarding a pay equity plan negotiated between their employer and their bargaining agent.

The Tribunal dismissed their application and denied them intervenor status, finding that the Pay Equity Act does not provide individual employees represented by a bargaining agent with a statutory role in the preparation of a pay equity plan.

Furthermore, the teachers did not have a direct legal interest that would entitle them to party status at law, as the proceedings would not threaten the existence of their employment contracts or reduce their actual remuneration.

Ontario Nurses' Association v. St. Joseph's Villa, 1993 CanLII 5412

Union certification constitutes a changed circumstance requiring a single pay equity plan to be split.

The Ontario Nurses' Association (ONA) applied to the Pay Equity Hearings Tribunal after being certified to represent nurses at St. Joseph's Villa.

ONA argued that its certification constituted a changed circumstance under the Pay Equity Act, rendering the existing pay equity plan inappropriate, and sought disclosure of pay equity information.

The Tribunal held that certification was a changed circumstance because the Act requires separate plans for bargaining unit and non-bargaining unit employees.

The Tribunal ordered the existing plan to be split but declined to order the negotiation of a new plan.

The employer was also ordered to disclose specific information to allow ONA to fulfill its statutory obligations.

Welland County General Hospital v. Service Employees International Union, Local 204, 1992 CanLII 4703

Motion alleging reasonable apprehension of bias due to another tribunal member's resignation dismissed.

The applicant employer brought a preliminary motion alleging a reasonable apprehension of bias, arguing that the unexplained resignation of an employer representative in another case suggested a lack of adjudicative independence at the Tribunal.

The majority of the Tribunal dismissed the motion, finding that the circumstances were too attenuated and remote to raise a reasonable apprehension of bias, and that the Tribunal's history demonstrated independent decision-making.

The dissenting member would have found a reasonable apprehension of bias based on the institutional setting and the lack of explanation for the member's resignation.
