The employer sought reconsideration of an earlier Board decision which found that its lock-out of employees constituted a breach of section 14 of the Labour Relations Act.
The union sought compensation for lost wages and benefits, damages for its own expenses, and consent to prosecute the employer.
The Board affirmed its earlier decision, holding that the employer could not resort to a lock-out to avoid a compulsory second round of arbitration to which it had previously agreed.
The Board ordered the employer to compensate the locked-out employees for all wages and benefits lost.
However, the Board denied the union's request for its own public relations and legal expenses, finding them too remote, and dismissed the application for consent to prosecute, concluding it would not serve any useful purpose.
