OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJan 13, 1983

Campus supervisors found to be employees under the Colleges Collective Bargaining Act, not managerial exclusions.

The union brought a reference under section 82 of the Colleges Collective Bargaining Act concerning the status of six campus supervisors employed by the respondent college.

The employer argued that the supervisors exercised managerial functions and should be excluded from the support staff bargaining unit.

The Board examined the duties of the supervisors, which included security functions, monitoring campus events, and assigning work to three bargaining unit employees.

The Board found that the supervisors did not exercise sufficient authority over the bargaining unit employees to create a conflict of interest, nor did their security functions warrant exclusion under the Act.

The Board concluded that the campus supervisors were employees within the meaning of the Act and properly included in the bargaining unit.

One board member dissented.

Ontario Public Service Employees Union v. Sheridan College of Applied Arts and Technology, 1983 CanLII 817

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardDec 15, 1980

Board resolves employee status dispute in certification application and defers related employer determination.

In an application for certification in the construction industry, the union challenged the inclusion of five individuals on the employer's list of employees.

A labour relations officer was appointed to inquire into the dispute.

The employer failed to call a witness before the officer but sought to call the witness before the Board.

The Board, by majority, allowed the witness to testify.

Based on the evidence, the Board concluded that two of the challenged individuals were construction labourers employed on the application date, while the other three were not.

The Board deferred the determination of the identity of the true employer and the related employer application, directing the matter to be relisted for hearing.

Labourer's International Union of North America, Local 183 v. PHI International Inc., 1980 CanLII 824

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardNov 24, 1980

Union certified without a vote; employee petitions rejected as involuntary due to employer's implied threats.

The union applied for certification for two bargaining units.

The union demonstrated membership support in excess of 55% for both units.

However, a group of employees filed statements of desire (petitions) opposing the certification, which included signatures from employees who had previously signed union membership cards.

The Board found that the employer had held a meeting and posted newspaper clippings suggesting that unionization would lead to layoffs and plant closures.

Consequently, the Board concluded that the petitions did not represent a voluntary change of heart, as employees were motivated by a perceived threat to their job security.

The Board gave no weight to the petitions and granted certification for both bargaining units without a representation vote.

Laundry and Linen Drivers and Industrial Workers Union, Local 847 v. Siegfried Krieser Industries Limited, 1980 CanLII 843

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardNov 1, 1980

Union certification application dismissed due to invalid Form 8 Declaration lacking proper inquiries by the declarant.

The applicant union applied for certification and filed documentary evidence of membership supported by a Form 8 Declaration.

During the hearing, it was revealed that the union official who signed the Form 8 Declaration had not made the necessary inquiries of the collectors regarding how the membership cards were solicited and whether the initiation fees were properly collected.

The Board held that the Form 8 Declaration did not meet the strict standards required, as the declarant lacked the requisite personal knowledge or knowledge gained from proper inquiries.

Consequently, the membership evidence solicited by persons other than the declarant was rejected, and the application for certification was dismissed.
