Request to amend spent certificate dismissed; parties may amend collective agreement recognition clause themselves.
The Alliance Employees' Union and the Public Service Alliance of Canada submitted a joint proposal requesting the Board to amend a 1984 certificate to reflect updated managerial and confidential exclusions.
The Board treated the request as an application for reconsideration but dismissed it as unnecessary.
The Board held that once a collective agreement is negotiated, the certificate is spent and supplanted by the agreement's recognition clause.
The parties are free to amend the scope of their collective agreement themselves without Board intervention.
