Seasonal construction employees preparing equipment at a plant are covered by the construction collective agreement.

The applicant union applied for certification of a bargaining unit of employees at the respondent's asphalt plant operations.

The parties disputed whether six seasonal employees engaged in preparatory work at the plant/shop should be included in the bargaining unit.

The majority of the Board found that these employees were covered by the existing Kingston area agreement for construction operations, as they were construction employees temporarily preparing equipment.

Consequently, they were excluded from the proposed bargaining unit.

A representation vote was ordered for the remaining eligible employees.

International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 793 v. Dibblee Construction Limited, 1988 CanLII 3697

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMay 18, 1988

Board asserts provincial jurisdiction over labour relations for construction work on a federal undertaking.

The applicants applied for certification regarding employees of the respondent working on the rehabilitation of the Welland Canal.

The respondent argued that the work was an integral part of a federal undertaking, placing labour relations under federal jurisdiction.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board applied the Supreme Court of Canada's decision in Construction Montcalm Inc., holding that construction work, even on a federal undertaking, falls within provincial jurisdiction over labour relations.

The Board concluded it had jurisdiction to entertain the applications.

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMar 9, 1988

Board varied previous decision to clarify collective agreement is only void in the ICI sector.

The union requested that the Board reconsider its previous decision which declared a collective agreement null and void.

The union argued the Board intended to declare the agreement null and void only insofar as it applied to the industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) sector of the construction industry.

The Board granted the request and varied its decision to clarify that the collective agreement is unlawful and null and void only in the ICI sector.

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardDec 14, 1987

Union certification granted; previous dismissed application did not bar new application with corrected declarations.

The applicant trade union applied for certification to represent electricians and electricians' apprentices employed by the respondent in the construction industry.

The respondent argued the application should be barred due to a recently dismissed application and challenged the membership evidence.

The Board found no grounds to bar the application, accepted the new Form 80 declarations and membership evidence, and declined to order a representation vote.

The Board granted certification to the applicant.

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local Union 894 v. County Electric of Peterborough Limited, 1987 CanLII 3141

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardNov 27, 1987

Decertification application dismissed as employees were hired contrary to collective agreement and excluded from bargaining unit.

The applicant employees applied to terminate the bargaining rights of the respondent union.

The union challenged the list of employees filed by the employer, arguing that the three individuals on the list were not hired in accordance with the union security and hiring hall provisions of the collective agreement.

The Board found that the individuals were hired contrary to the collective agreement and, applying the April Waterproofing principle, concluded they were not properly included in the bargaining unit.

As a result, less than forty-five percent of the employees in the bargaining unit had voluntarily signified they no longer wished to be represented by the union, and the application was dismissed.

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardOct 9, 1987

Reconsideration denied where respondent failed to attend certification hearing due to counsel's erroneous assumption.

The respondent requested that the Board reconsider its decision certifying the applicant and intervener unions, and reopen the hearing.

The respondent had failed to attend the scheduled certification hearing because its counsel erroneously assumed the hearing would be postponed after obtaining an extension to file a reply.

The Board held that a party cannot evade the consequences of its counsel's mistakes and that the clear wording of the notice of hearing warned of the consequences of non-attendance.

The Board found no compelling reason or new evidence to justify reconsideration.

The request was denied and the certificates affirmed.

Labourers' International Union of North America, Local 1036 v. The Corporation of the City of Sault Ste. Marie, 1987 CanLII 3093

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardOct 8, 1987

Board finds employees performing mixed clerical and watchman duties are not guards under the Act.

The applicant employer applied under section 106(2) of the Labour Relations Act for a determination of whether certain individuals were guards.

The individuals performed a mix of security and clerical duties, primarily watching and reporting, without exercising monitorial or regulatory authority over other employees.

The Board applied the test of whether their duties raised a real possibility of a conflict of interest with other employees.

Finding no such conflict, the Board concluded the individuals were not employed as guards and therefore not excluded from the bargaining unit.

Kimberly Clark of Canada Ltd. v. Lumber and Sawmill Workers' Union, Local 2693, 1987 CanLII 3099

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJul 31, 1987

Board applies res judicata to find union is an affiliated bargaining agent, voiding collective agreement.

The applicant sought a declaration that its collective agreement with Local 2693 was unlawful and void under the Labour Relations Act, as Local 2693 was an affiliated bargaining agent and the agreement was not a provincial agreement.

Local 2693 requested an adjournment pending a Ministerial designation or reconsideration of a prior Board decision that found it to be an affiliated bargaining agent.

The Board denied the adjournment.

Applying the doctrine of res judicata, the Board held that the prior decision determining Local 2693's status was a decision in rem and therefore binding.

Consequently, the Board declared the collective agreement unlawful, null, and void.

General Contractors' Division of the Construction Association of Thunder Bay Inc. v. Lumber and Sawmill Workers' Union, Local 2693 of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America et al., 1987 CanLII 3069

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJul 29, 1987

Area practice and geographic area are not relevant to sectoral determinations under section 150 of the Labour Relations Act.

The complainant filed a jurisdictional dispute regarding the installation of site services at a plant building project.

The Board was asked to make a preliminary determination under section 150 of the Labour Relations Act as to whether the work fell within the industrial, commercial and institutional sector.

The complainant argued that the Board should consider area practice in making this determination.

The Board held that the concepts of area practice and geographic area have no basis in the statutory definition of 'sector' in section 117(e), which is determined by work characteristics.

The Board directed that the matter be listed for continuation of hearing to entertain evidence of work characteristics.

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMay 6, 1987

Board rejects 21 union membership cards after finding the collector engaged in deliberate misconduct regarding non-payment.

During an application for certification, the respondent employer alleged that two employees had not paid the required one dollar fee when signing union membership cards.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board held an evidentiary hearing to assess the credibility of the witnesses.

The Board found that the union collector had engaged in deliberate misconduct by telling the employees not to worry about paying the fee and to conceal the non-payment.

Consequently, the Board rejected all 21 membership cards collected by that individual.

A dissenting Board member would have only rejected the two specific cards in question.

Labourers' International Union of North America, Local 183 v. Olympia & York Developments Limited, 1987 CanLII 3273

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardApr 21, 1987

Certification application dismissed as applicant union lacked designated authority to represent surveyors in construction industry.

The applicant trade union applied for certification of a bargaining unit of construction labourers, including surveyors, employed by the respondent in the industrial, commercial and institutional sector of the construction industry.

The Board dismissed the intervention of another union for lack of status.

The Board found that the applicant did not have an established trade union practice of representing surveyors in the construction industry, whereas the intervener had a history of such representation and was the designated employee bargaining agency for surveyors.

The Board concluded it could not determine an appropriate bargaining unit that included trades other than those contained in the applicant's designation order, and dismissed the application.

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardDec 19, 1986

Employer ordered to pay unpaid union dues; guarantor association not liable due to union's delay.

The applicant union referred a grievance to the Ontario Labour Relations Board against Parent Masonry Limited for failing to remit welfare payments, union dues, and other required payments under two collective agreements.

The union also sought to hold the Masonry Contractors' Association of Toronto Inc. liable for the default under a guarantee clause in the agreements.

The Board found that Parent Masonry Limited violated the agreements and ordered it to pay $55,629.63.

However, the Board dismissed the claim against the Association, finding that the union failed to satisfy the condition precedent of exhausting all ways and means of collection, including the mechanics lien remedy, in a timely manner before seeking to enforce the guarantee.

Board arbitrates and imposes terms of a first collective agreement following a successful representation vote.

The union applied to the Ontario Labour Relations Board for the settlement of a first collective agreement by arbitration under section 40a of the Labour Relations Act.

The parties agreed to adjourn the matter pending a representation vote on a termination application, with the arbitration to proceed if the union won the vote.

The union won the vote, and the Board proceeded to arbitrate the first contract.

The Board rejected the employer's argument that the contract should reflect the relative bargaining strengths of the parties or be based on final offer selection.

The Board determined the disputed terms, including union dues, jury duty, negotiating committee, holidays, health and welfare benefits, strikes and lockouts, wages, and working rules, imposing a collective agreement to be in effect until November 30, 1988.

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardOct 31, 1986

Union certified for craft bargaining unit of theatrical wardrobe mistresses and attendants at Stratford Festival.

The applicant union applied for certification for a bargaining unit of theatrical wardrobe mistresses and attendants employed by the respondent at its Stratford theatres.

The Board first determined that the applicant was a trade union within the meaning of the Labour Relations Act, noting that it had adopted a constitution, elected officers, and admitted members.

The Board then considered whether the proposed unit was an appropriate craft bargaining unit under section 6(3) of the Act.

Finding that the wardrobe staff exercised distinct technical skills, commonly bargained separately in the entertainment industry, and that the applicant pertained to such skills, the Board deemed the craft unit appropriate.

As more than fifty-five percent of the employees in the unit were members of the applicant, the Board ordered that a certificate issue.

A single employee in a construction industry bargaining unit may apply to terminate bargaining rights.

The applicant, the sole employee in the bargaining unit, applied to terminate the respondent union's bargaining rights.

The union argued that the Board could not entertain the application because there must be more than one employee in the unit.

The Board rejected this argument, holding that in the construction industry, a single employee can apply to terminate bargaining rights.

The Board also found the applicant's statement of desire to be voluntary and directed a representation vote.

One Board member dissented, arguing that the statute requires a plurality of employees for a termination application.

Richard Grandy v. The Ontario Pipe Trades Council of the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry of the United States and Canada, Local 527, 1986 CanLII 1370

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJul 8, 1986

Employees laid off before reporting to work on application date excluded from construction industry bargaining unit count.

The applicant union applied for certification in the construction industry and challenged the respondent employer's list of employees.

The union argued that four employees who were laid off on the morning of the application date, before reporting to work, should be included in the bargaining unit count.

The Board held that in construction industry applications, only employees actually at work on the date of application are included in the count.

Since the four employees did not perform any work on that date, they were excluded from the count.

International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 353 v. Galil Electric Company Limited, 1986 CanLII 1414

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMay 27, 1986

Board dismisses related employer application but finds sale of business for plant employees following corporate reorganization.

The union applied for a declaration that several corporate respondents constituted a single employer under s. 1(4) of the Labour Relations Act, or alternatively, that a sale of a business occurred under s. 63 following a corporate reorganization.

The Board found that the companies were not under common control or direction and did not engage in related activities, dismissing the s. 1(4) application.

However, the Board found that a sale of a business had occurred with respect to the plant employees of Marson Canada Inc., Swingline/Rexel Inc., and Wilson Jones, Division of Acme Seeley Inc. The Board found no sale of a business regarding the office employees of Swingline/Rexel Inc. and Wilson Jones, as they were newly hired or performing different functions, but did find a sale regarding Marson Canada Inc.'s office employees.

Swingline/Rexel Inc. v. United Steelworkers of America, 1986 CanLII 1491

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMay 20, 1986

Related employer declaration granted; section 1(4) of the Labour Relations Act does not violate Charter.

The applicant trade union sought a related employer declaration under section 1(4) of the Labour Relations Act against three construction companies.

The respondents raised a preliminary objection that section 1(4) violates the guarantee of freedom of association under section 2(d) of the Charter.

The Board dismissed the constitutional challenge, finding that section 1(4) protects rather than infringes freedom of association by preserving existing bargaining rights.

On the merits, the Board applied the Walters Lithographing criteria and found that the three companies carried on associated or related activities under common control or direction.

The Board declared the companies bound by the collective agreement and ordered remedies for unfair labour practices.

International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 1687 v. F.D.V. Construction Limited, 1986 CanLII 1482

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardFeb 19, 1986

Union ordered to execute collective agreement appendix; internal constitution cannot override statutory duty to bargain.

The complainant employer association alleged that the respondent union and employee bargaining agency violated the Labour Relations Act by refusing to bargain and execute an appendix to the provincial collective agreement.

The union argued that signing the appendix would violate its international constitution regarding the use of vehicles and travel cards.

The Board held that a union cannot contract out of the Labour Relations Act through its constitution.

Finding a continued breach of the duty to bargain in good faith, the Board ordered the employee bargaining agency to execute the appendix.

Canadian Pneumatic Control Contractors Association v. The Ontario Pipe Trades Council et al., 1986 CanLII 1408

Single bargaining unit for all grocery store employees found appropriate; separate meat department unit rejected.

The applicant trade union sought certification for a single bargaining unit comprising all employees of the respondent's grocery store, excluding managers and certain others.

The respondent employer argued that the meat department employees should form a separate bargaining unit due to a distinct community of interest.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board found that the meat department employees and other employees shared the same working conditions and common supervision, and did not possess a distinct and different community of interest.

The Board determined that the single bargaining unit proposed by the applicant was appropriate and directed that a certificate issue.
