OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMay 29, 1991

Hiring of competitor's key personnel and acquisition of their skills and contacts constituted a sale of business.

The applicants alleged a sale of a business from Ably to Turner and sought a related employer declaration.

Ably, a concrete floor installation business, ceased operations shortly after the union acquired bargaining rights.

The four partners of Ably were subsequently hired by Turner, a competitor.

The Board found that the skills, contacts, and reputation of the four partners constituted the assets of Ably, and their hiring by Turner amounted to a sale of a business under section 63 of the Labour Relations Act.

Turner was declared bound by the provincial collective agreement.

The related employer application was dismissed.

The Board also found Ably violated several sections of the Act, while complaints against Turner were dismissed as premature.

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMar 28, 1991

First collective agreement settled by arbitration; standard form provisions imposed but geographic scope not expanded.

The union applied for the settlement of a first collective agreement by arbitration.

The parties agreed on some provisions of the union's proposed standard form collective agreement, but disputed several articles including geographic scope, payment of wages, sub-contracting, and an industrial fund.

The Board held that the geographic scope could not be expanded beyond the Board's geographic area #17 without the employer's consent, as economic sanctions cannot be used to expand bargaining rights.

However, the Board ordered the inclusion of the union's standard form provisions for the remaining disputed articles, finding no reason to grant the employer special treatment or a competitive advantage over other contractors bound by the standard agreement.

Board upholds Ontario Hydro's assignment of sheet metal siding installation to Sheet Metal Workers over Carpenters.

The complainant Carpenters union filed a jurisdictional dispute under section 91 of the Labour Relations Act regarding the assignment of sheet metal siding installation at the Bruce Nuclear Power Development.

Ontario Hydro had assigned the work to the Sheet Metal Workers.

The Board considered criteria including area practice and employer past practice, noting that 99.9% of sheet metal siding in the area was installed by sheet metal workers.

The Board upheld Ontario Hydro's assignment to the Sheet Metal Workers and declined to make the direction provincial in scope.

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardFeb 8, 1991

Board declares two concrete forming companies related employers and orders payment of unpaid union contributions.

The applicant union referred a construction industry grievance and applied for a related employer or sale of business declaration against the respondents.

The Board found that the original company and the newly incorporated company were associated or related employers under common control and direction, as the owner created the new company to avoid liabilities while continuing the same concrete forming business.

The Board declared them one employer bound by the collective agreement.

The sale of business application was dismissed due to insufficient evidence.

The Board upheld the grievance, finding the respondents violated the collective agreement by employing non-union members and failing to remit required contributions, and ordered the payment of $12,690.35.

Board deferred section 124 grievance referrals pending resolution of section 91 jurisdictional dispute complaint.

The applicant trade union referred several grievances to the Ontario Labour Relations Board under section 124 of the Labour Relations Act, alleging that the respondent employers violated the collective agreement by assigning certain work to composite crews of millwrights and ironworkers.

The intervener ironworkers' union argued that the grievances were essentially jurisdictional disputes and should be deferred or dismissed.

The Board held that it had jurisdiction to hear the section 124 referrals but, in accordance with its usual practice, decided to first entertain the jurisdictional dispute complaint filed under section 91 before proceeding with the grievances.

Millwright District Council of Ontario v. Acco Canadian Material Handling, 1990 CanLII 5700

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJun 20, 1990

Application alleging sale of a business dismissed; new tenant's operation was an expansion of its own business.

The applicant union filed an application under section 63 of the Labour Relations Act, alleging a sale of a business from Steinberg to Ferlisi.

Steinberg had surrendered its lease for a supermarket premises, and the landlord subsequently leased the premises to Ferlisi, an operator of ethnic supermarkets.

Ferlisi also purchased unwanted equipment left by Steinberg at the landlord's insistence.

The Board found no nexus between Steinberg and Ferlisi, noting that Ferlisi's operation was targeted to a specific ethnic community and was an expansion of its own pre-existing business rather than a continuation of Steinberg's business.

The application was dismissed.

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMar 1, 1990

Board accepts photocopied membership evidence and dismisses objectors' petition due to their failure to attend hearing.

The applicant union sought certification and filed photocopied membership evidence after the original cards were lost in the mail.

A group of objecting employees filed statements of desire but failed to attend the scheduled hearing, having mistakenly assumed their written request for a venue change would automatically adjourn the matter.

The Board declined to consider the objectors' statements due to their failure to attend despite clear notice.

The Board also accepted the photocopied membership evidence, finding that the union had made a diligent search for the lost originals and fully disclosed the circumstances.

An interim certificate was issued to the union.

United Steelworkers of America v. American Barrick Resources Corporation, 1990 CanLII 5665

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardFeb 7, 1990

Employer ordered to pay wages for employees who attended WHMIS training without clear notice it was unpaid.

The applicant union filed a grievance alleging the respondent employer failed to pay wages and benefits to 31 employees who attended a WHMIS training course.

The employer argued the employees attended voluntarily or were not directed to attend.

The Board found that the employer failed to effectively communicate to the employees that their attendance was voluntary and unpaid.

The Board upheld the grievance, finding the employer violated the collective agreement, and ordered the payment of wages and benefits for the time spent at the course.

United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, Local 785 v. Rosmar Drywall & Acoustics Limited, 1990 CanLII 5651

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJan 26, 1990

OHSA reprisal complaint dismissed; driver was terminated for refusing to work assigned thirteen-hour shift.

The complainant, a driver for vehicles transporting the handicapped, alleged he was dismissed as a reprisal for exercising his rights under the Occupational Health and Safety Act after refusing to complete a thirteen-hour shift.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board found that the complainant was dismissed because of his refusal to work his assigned shift, not for exercising rights under the Act.

The Board noted that an inspector had previously found no OHSA violation and that the complainant was attempting to shorten his shift to suit his personal lifestyle preferences.

The complaint was dismissed.

Everette Chapelle v. Toronto Transit Commission Wheel Trans Department, 1990 CanLII 5733

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardDec 4, 1989

Arrest warrant issued for witness who previously failed to attend construction grievance hearing.

The applicant union requested the Board to issue an arrest warrant for a witness, Manuel Araujo, who had previously failed to attend a hearing and could not be located by the Sheriff.

The applicant provided a new address for the witness.

The Board issued an arrest warrant requiring the witness's attendance at the continuation of the hearing.

United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, Local 27 v. Real Carpenters, 1988 CanLII 3419

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardOct 10, 1989

Grievance dismissed; employer's deduction of income tax arrears from wages was not an unlawful set-off.

The union filed a grievance alleging that the employer violated the collective agreement and the Employment Standards Act by making unauthorized deductions from employees' wages to recover income tax arrears.

Following a Revenue Canada audit, the employer paid the estimated taxes owed by its employees for unreported travel allowances and subsequently deducted these amounts from their paycheques without written authorization.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board dismissed the grievance, finding that the overpayment of wages due to the initial failure to deduct income tax did not constitute 'wages' under the Act, and that the deductions were permitted by statute.

International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftsmen v. Calligaro Tile Company Limited, 1989 CanLII 3003

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardAug 1, 1989

Secretly recorded conversation with union steward ruled inadmissible as hearsay; steward lacked authority to bind union.

During a hearing, the employer sought to introduce a secretly tape-recorded telephone conversation between its vice-president and a union steward.

The union objected on the grounds that the steward was not an officer or agent of the union, and thus the conversation did not fall under the admissions against interest exception to the hearsay rule.

The Board upheld the objection, finding that the steward was not acting within the scope of his stewardship or authorized to make admissions on behalf of the union.

The evidence was ruled inadmissible.

Nicholls-Radtke Limited v. United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry of the U.S. and Canada Local 46, 1989 CanLII 3091

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJun 2, 1989

Union permitted to amend certification application to contract the proposed bargaining unit.

The applicant trade union applied for certification and subsequently sought to amend its proposed bargaining unit to exclude the industrial, commercial, and institutional sectors.

The respondent employer and objecting employees opposed the amendment, arguing it amounted to gerrymandering and that the applicant, as a council of trade unions, could not apply independently.

The Board held that the applicant was entitled to apply under either section 144(1) or (3) of the Labour Relations Act and permitted the amendment, finding it was merely a contraction of the unit and not gerrymandering.

A Labour Relations Officer was authorized to inquire into the composition of the bargaining unit.

Labourers' International Union of North America, Ontario Provincial District Council v. M.W.M. Construction of Kitchener Limited, 1989 CanLII 3255

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMay 1, 1989

Board finds no settlement reached in jurisdictional dispute where offer was conditional and subsequently withdrawn.

The complainant union filed a jurisdictional dispute complaint under section 91 of the Labour Relations Act.

The respondent unions argued that a settlement had been reached between the unions.

The Board found that the complainant's written offer of settlement was conditional upon the approval of a third-party employer association.

Furthermore, the respondent union made a counter-offer which nullified the original offer, and the original offer was withdrawn before any valid acceptance.

The Board concluded that no settlement had been reached and directed that the hearing on the merits of the jurisdictional dispute continue.

The Board also denied a request by the Acoustical Association of Ontario to be added as a party.

United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, Local 2041 v. Ferano Construction Limited, 1989 CanLII 3468

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardApr 28, 1989

Duty of fair representation complaint dismissed as union's refusal to grieve lacked arbitrary or discriminatory conduct.

The complainant, an occasional supply teacher, alleged that his union breached its duty of fair representation under section 68 of the Labour Relations Act by failing to file grievances regarding his failure to obtain a permanent teaching position, his lack of access to his complete personnel file, and his failure to obtain teaching assignments after June 1986.

He also alleged that the union violated section 72(5) and (6) by providing insufficient notice of a general meeting.

The Board dismissed the complaints, finding that the collective agreement did not provide rights to permanent employment or complete personnel file access, and that the union's handling of his lack of assignments was not arbitrary, discriminatory, or in bad faith.

The Board also found no violation regarding the meeting notice.

Rocca v. Ontario Catholic Occasional Teachers Association, 1989 CanLII 3131

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardDec 19, 1988

Board determines bargaining unit composition and managerial exclusions in construction industry certification application.

In an application for certification in the construction industry, the Board determined the composition of the bargaining unit by resolving disputes over whether certain individuals were performing bargaining unit work or exercised managerial functions under section 1(3)(b) of the Labour Relations Act.

The Board found that some working foremen exercised managerial functions and were excluded, while others did not and were included.

The Board directed the matter to be listed for a continuation of hearing to address the origination and circulation of documents filed in opposition to the application.

International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 793 v. Ro-Von Construction Limited, 1988 CanLII 3609

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardSep 19, 1988

Board grants union certification, finding English-only notice sufficient and rejecting unreliable employee objection petition.

The applicant union applied for certification as the bargaining agent for construction labourers employed by the respondent.

The respondent and objecting employees argued that the notice of application was defective because it named the wrong employer and was only in English, requesting an extension and translation into Italian and Portuguese.

The Board found the notice sufficient, noting employees knew their employer and that the Board does not typically translate notices.

The Board also rejected the objectors' petition due to unreliable testimony regarding its origination and circulation.

Finding that the union had the requisite membership support, the Board issued the certificates.

Labourers' International Union of North America, Local 183 v. Javid Construction Management Limited, 1988 CanLII 3724

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJul 20, 1988

Board upholds employer's assignment of process control computer maintenance to instrument mechanics over electricians.

The complainants, operators of a newsprint mill, filed a jurisdictional dispute complaint under section 91 of the Labour Relations Act regarding the assignment of repair and maintenance work on a new computer technology system (the Moore Mycro Stock Proportioning System).

The work was assigned to instrument mechanics represented by Local 89, which was challenged by maintenance electricians represented by Local 1149.

The Board applied established criteria for resolving jurisdictional disputes, including employer preference, employer practice, collective bargaining relationships, skill and training, and economy and efficiency.

Finding that the system was primarily for process control rather than motor control, and that instrument mechanics possessed the necessary specialized training and experience, the Board directed that the work continue to be assigned to Local 89.

Spruce Fails Power and Paper Company Limited v. International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 1149, 1988 CanLII 3657

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJun 30, 1988

Board determines managerial status of lead hands and rules on spoiled ballots in representation vote.

Following a representation vote for union certification, the parties disputed whether five lead hands exercised managerial functions under section 1(3)(b) of the Labour Relations Act and whether two ballots were spoiled.

The Board found that four of the lead hands exercised only minor supervisory functions without effective control over the employment relationship and were included in the bargaining unit.

One lead hand, who had authority to discipline and suspend employees without prior consultation, was found to exercise managerial functions and was excluded.

The Board also upheld the Returning Officer's ruling that two ambiguously marked ballots were spoiled and should not be counted.

United Steelworkers of America v. Aluminart Products Ltd., 1988 CanLII 3660

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJun 14, 1988

Complaint against Hospital dismissed; late particulars struck; core unfair labour practice allegations against employer proceed.

The complainant filed an unfair labour practice complaint against the Hospital, VS Services Ltd., and the Union.

The Board entertained several preliminary motions.

The complaint against the Hospital was dismissed on consent, as it was never the complainant's employer.

The Board struck the complainant's late-filed particulars for failing to comply with a prior Board direction.

The Board also dismissed allegations relating to sections 63, 91(18), and 95 of the Labour Relations Act, as they were inapplicable.

However, the Board refused to dismiss the entire complaint against VS Services Ltd., allowing the allegations under sections 66(c), 67, and 68 to proceed.
