OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMar 4, 1980

Registered nurse with infection control and staff health duties found to be an employee, not management.

The applicant hospital sought a determination under section 95(2) of the Labour Relations Act as to whether a registered nurse exercised managerial functions and was therefore excluded from the definition of 'employee'.

The nurse served as In-Service Co-ordinator, Staff Health Nurse, and Infection Control Officer.

The Board found that she did not supervise employees, make effective recommendations regarding employment conditions, or exercise independent decision-making authority in policy matters.

The Board concluded that her duties reflected her professional training rather than managerial authority, and declared her an employee for the purposes of the Act.

Union certified for agreed bargaining unit excluding part-time employees and students; dissent on unit appropriateness.

The applicant union applied for certification.

The parties agreed to a bargaining unit that excluded part-time employees and students, despite the employer having no history of hiring part-time employees.

The majority of the Board accepted the agreed-upon bargaining unit and granted the certificate, finding that more than fifty-five percent of the employees were members of the union.

A dissenting Board member argued that the Board's policy should not exclude non-existent categories of employees, as it pre-determines the bargaining rights of future hires, and would have included all employees in the unit.

International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America, (U.A.W.) v. Jutras Die Casting Limited, 1980 CanLII 976

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMar 1, 1980

Union's request to set aside tie vote dismissed; employer's campaign letter did not constitute undue influence.

The union applied for certification and filed an unfair labour practice complaint regarding an employer's campaign letter distributed prior to a representation vote.

The vote resulted in a 60-60 tie.

The union alleged the letter violated a prior settlement agreement prohibiting communications indicating victory or defeat in a previous discharge complaint, thereby constituting undue influence under section 56 of the Labour Relations Act.

The majority of the Board dismissed the application and complaint, finding the employer's letter did not breach the settlement agreement and fell within the parameters of acceptable employer response to union propaganda.

A six-month bar on further certification applications was imposed.

One Board member dissented, arguing the letter breached the settlement and warranted a second vote.

Board declares newly amalgamated municipal hydro commission bound by predecessor's collective agreement under successor rights provisions.

The applicant union applied for a declaration under section 55 of the Labour Relations Act that the respondent, Ajax Hydro-Electric Commission, was bound by a collective agreement previously entered into with the Hydro-Electric Commission of the Town of Ajax.

The application followed the amalgamation and restructuring of municipal hydro services under the Durham Municipal Hydro-Electric Service Act, 1979.

The Board found that a municipal amalgamation had occurred within the meaning of section 55(11) of the Labour Relations Act.

Consequently, the Board declared that the respondent became bound by the existing collective agreement and that the applicant continued to be the bargaining agent for the employees in the bargaining unit.

Board revokes union certificate and orders representation vote due to planned workforce build-up.

The applicant union was certified to represent employees at the respondent's new plant when only two employees were working.

Subsequently, two other unions intervened, arguing that the certificate was issued during a period of workforce build-up and should be reconsidered.

The Board found that a significant increase in the workforce was planned at the time of the original application, such that the two employees did not constitute a representative segment.

The Board exercised its power under section 95(1) of the Labour Relations Act to revoke the certificate and directed the taking of a representation vote.

Printing Specialties & Paper Products Union Local 701 v. Atlantic Packaging Products Ltd., 1980 CanLII 760

Employee members of a non-profit's Board of Directors are not excluded from a bargaining unit as management.

The union applied for certification of employees at Family Services of Hamilton-Wentworth Inc. The parties disputed whether three employees who also served on the employer's Board of Directors should be excluded from the bargaining unit under section 1(3)(b) of the Labour Relations Act for exercising managerial functions or acting in a confidential capacity.

The Board found that while the Board of Directors collectively exercises managerial functions, the employee-directors do not exercise independent managerial authority in their secondary role as directors, nor do they have regular, material involvement in confidential labour relations matters.

The Board concluded that the employee-directors are properly included in the bargaining unit.

Ontario Public Service Employees Union v. Family Services of Hamilton-Wentworth Inc., 1980 CanLII 927

Representation vote ordered in displacement certification application; allegations of employer support dismissed.

The applicant union applied for certification to displace the intervener union as the bargaining agent for insulation mechanics employed by the respondent.

The intervener opposed the application, alleging under section 12 of the Labour Relations Act that the respondent employer had unlawfully hired employees to support the applicant and defeat the intervener's bargaining rights.

The Board found no evidence of a collusive arrangement or employer support, dismissing the section 12 allegations.

As the applicant demonstrated sufficient membership support, the Board ordered a representation vote.

Christian Labour Association of Canada v. Master Insulation Company Limited, 1980 CanLII 796

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJan 28, 1980

Board determines bargaining unit status of seven college employees, excluding two for managerial responsibilities.

The union applied under section 82 of The Colleges Collective Bargaining Act, 1975 for a determination of whether several persons employed by the college were employees within the meaning of the Act and, if so, in which bargaining unit they belonged.

The Board examined the duties and responsibilities of seven positions.

It found that the Programmer-Analyst, Community Program Co-ordinators, Manager Evening Programs, and Media Specialist were employees in the support staff bargaining unit.

The Board excluded the Student Activities Co-ordinator and the Manager Client Services from the bargaining units by reason of their managerial duties and responsibilities.

Ontario Public Service Employees Union v. Cambrian College of Applied Arts & Technology, 1980 CanLII 773

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJan 16, 1980

Employee transferred out of unit before vote is ineligible; employee on sick leave remains eligible.

In an application for certification, a dispute arose regarding the eligibility of three individuals to cast ballots in a representation vote.

The Board ruled that an employee who had been temporarily transferred into the bargaining unit but returned to her original unit before the vote was ineligible to vote.

Conversely, an employee who had been absent due to illness for an extended period but maintained an employment relationship and received benefits was deemed eligible to vote.

The Board directed that the eligible ballots be counted.
