Expedited hearing scheduled for employer's application alleging an unlawful strike via an overtime boycott.

The applicant employer filed an application under section 100 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995, alleging that the responding union and several employees were engaging in an unlawful strike by conducting an overtime boycott.

The Board noted that while the allegations were unproven, the statute prohibits strikes during the term of a collective agreement and defines 'strike' broadly enough to include concerted overtime boycotts.

Given the need for expedition in unlawful strike applications, the Board scheduled an expedited hearing.

Unfair labour practice complaint regarding collective bargaining in the education sector scheduled for a pre-hearing conference.

The applicant union filed an unfair labour practice complaint alleging that the school board and the Crown contravened the Labour Relations Act during collective bargaining.

The union claimed the school board reneged on a settlement due to illegal pressure from the Ministry of Education regarding regulatory compliance.

The Board determined that the matter was not yet ripe for a full hearing and directed that a pre-hearing conference be scheduled to identify, simplify, and sequence the legal and factual issues.

Board directed parties to file submissions on vote-related issues following unsuccessful settlement discussions.

The applicant local unions alleged that the parent international union contravened the 'Bill 80' provisions of the Labour Relations Act.

The Board had previously directed the parties to make representations about vote-related issues, but no time limit was fixed due to ongoing settlement discussions.

As settlement efforts were unsuccessful, the Board directed the parties to make submissions by July 24, 2000, after which the Board would make further determinations or schedule a hearing.

Laborers’ International Union of North America, Local 491 v. Laborers’ International Union of North America, 2000 CanLII 9632

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJun 29, 2000

Board directed parties to make representations on conducting a membership vote regarding a union jurisdiction transfer.

The applicant local unions filed an application under section 96 of the Labour Relations Act alleging that the parent international union contravened sections 145-149 (the "Bill 80 provisions") by proposing to transfer the Kapuskasing geographic area and its members from Local 491 back to Local 607.

The parent union asserted the transfer was part of a broader restructuring and responded to the members' own wishes.

Noting that section 147(3) allows the Board to consider the wishes of the local trade union members, the Board directed the parties to make written representations on the desirability, logistics, and utility of conducting a secret ballot vote to test membership wishes before scheduling further hearings.

Board declined to determine adjudication process before responding parties filed their replies.

The applicants filed a case and requested an expedited method of resolving the dispute.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board held that it was inappropriate to consider the process for adjudicating the case until the potential responding parties had an opportunity to respond.

The Board noted that once the replies were filed, it might be appropriate to consider an expedited method.

Board extended time for responding parties to file responses to an interim relief application regarding union restructuring.

The applicants filed a complaint under section 96 of the Labour Relations Act regarding a proposed restructuring of the applicant locals, along with an application for interim relief.

The Board determined that the responding parties should not be obliged to respond within the tight time-frames stipulated in the Board's Rules due to the novel and atypical nature of the case and the volume of documents filed.

The Board relieved the responding parties and any interveners of the standard time limitations, set a new schedule for filing responses, and appointed a Labour Relations Officer to explore settlement.

Expedited hearing scheduled for employer's application alleging unlawful strike and secondary picketing.

The applicant employer filed an application under section 100 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995, alleging that employees and union officials from a striking mill were picketing at another mill, causing an unlawful strike.

The Board outlined the statutory framework prohibiting unlawful strikes and the potential remedies available to the employer.

The Board scheduled an expedited hearing to determine whether the alleged conduct was unlawful and what remedy, if any, should be granted.

Domtar Inc. v. Local 2995 I.W.A. Canada, 2000 CanLII 2585

Board lacks jurisdiction to grant substantive interim relief following Bill 31 amendments to the Labour Relations Act.

The union applied for substantive interim relief to prevent the responding limousine companies from transferring a service agreement to a third party, pending the resolution of an unfair labour practice complaint.

The Board held that following the Bill 31 amendments to the Labour Relations Act, it no longer has the jurisdiction to grant substantive interim relief under either its home statute or the Statutory Powers Procedure Act.

The Board's interim relief powers are now strictly limited to procedural matters.

The application for interim relief was dismissed.

Amalgamated Transit Union, Local 1731 v. McIntosh Limousine Service Ltd., 2000 CanLII 10874

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardApr 19, 2000

Board incorporates global settlement wherein union abandons bargaining rights and all parties withdraw outstanding complaints.

The union, the employer, and various individual employees reached a global settlement to resolve numerous outstanding proceedings before the Ontario Labour Relations Board, including unfair labour practice complaints, grievances, and applications to terminate bargaining rights.

The dispute arose following the union's certification at a Windsor Wal-Mart store and a subsequent contested ratification vote for a first collective agreement.

Under the settlement, the union abandoned its bargaining rights, all parties withdrew their respective applications and complaints with prejudice, and mutual releases were executed.

The Board issued declarations confirming the successor union status, the abandonment of bargaining rights, and the withdrawal of all matters.

United Steelworkers of America v. Wal-Mart Canada Inc., 2000 CanLII 11964

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardApr 3, 2000

Carpenters union failed to prove entitlement to represent pieceworkers when voluntary recognition agreements were signed.

The Labourers union and several individual employees challenged the validity of collective agreements entered into between the Carpenters union and five trim carpentry companies based on voluntary recognition.

The challenges were brought under section 66 of the Labour Relations Act, which requires the incumbent union to prove it was entitled to represent the employees at the time the agreements were signed.

The Board found that the Carpenters union's evidence of employee support, consisting of stale membership cards and a poorly attended ratification vote held six months prior to the agreements, was insufficient to meet the statutory onus.

The Board declined to exercise its discretion to dismiss the applications or order a representation vote, and rejected arguments that individual employees were denied natural justice.

The union applied for a review of an Employment Standards Officer's decision denying additional severance and termination pay to employees displaced by a plant closure.

Prior to a hearing, the parties reached a settlement.

The union subsequently requested leave to withdraw its application for review.

The adjudicator granted the request and terminated the proceeding.

As there was no longer an active request for reconsideration, the Board ordered the file closed.

Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 79 v. The City of Toronto, 2000 CanLII 3669

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJul 23, 1999

Hospital breached statutory freeze by unilaterally altering employee benefits during first collective agreement bargaining.

The union filed an unfair labour practice complaint alleging that the hospital contravened the statutory freeze provisions of the Labour Relations Act and the Hospital Labour Disputes Arbitration Act by unilaterally altering the employee benefit package after the union was certified but before a first collective agreement was reached.

The hospital argued it was acting bona fide in response to budgetary pressures and carrying on 'business as usual'.

The Board reviewed its approach to statutory freeze cases, noting the limitations of the 'business as usual' and 'reasonable expectations' tests.

The Board held that the statutory freeze is intended to bolster the bargaining process and reinforce the union's status as exclusive bargaining agent.

Because the benefit changes affected employees as a collectivity and were the kind of thing the employer would normally be obliged to bargain about, the hospital was prohibited from implementing them unilaterally.

The Board found a breach of the statutory freeze provisions and referred the matter back to the parties to attempt a settlement on remedy.

Ontario Public Service Employees Union v. Royal Ottawa Health Care Group Institute of Mental Health Research, 1999 CanLII 20151

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMay 17, 1999

Board finds sale of business occurred but terminates union's bargaining rights due to employee intermingling.

The Power Workers' Union applied under section 69 of the Labour Relations Act, alleging a sale of part of Ontario Hydro's business to Lincoln Hydro Electric Commission following a statutorily mandated transfer of retail distribution assets.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board found that a sale of part of a business had indeed occurred, as Lincoln Hydro acquired a coherent and functioning part of Ontario Hydro's operation.

However, because only one former Ontario Hydro employee accepted a job with Lincoln Hydro and was intermingled with its largely non-union workforce, the Board exercised its discretion under section 69(6) to terminate the union's bargaining rights effective the date of the transfer.

Disabled employee not actively at work on application date ineligible to vote in construction certification.

In a construction industry certification application, the union and employer disputed the voter eligibility of two individuals.

One individual had been off work on long-term disability for months prior to the application date and subsequently died.

The employer argued that 'but for' his disability, he would have been at work, and excluding him was discriminatory.

The Board rejected this argument, applying its strict 'rule of thumb' that only employees actively at work on the application date are eligible to vote in construction industry applications.

The second individual was at work performing electrical duties but had not yet completed his formal apprenticeship registration.

The Board found he was eligible to vote as he was within the 90-day window permitted by the Trades Qualification Act.

Because counting the single eligible segregated ballot would reveal the employee's choice, the Board ordered a new representation vote to protect ballot secrecy.

International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 586 v. Megatech Electrical Ltd., 1999 CanLII 20010

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardOct 20, 1998

Board determines appropriate bargaining units for the newly amalgamated City of Toronto under Bill 136.

Following the amalgamation of seven municipalities into the new City of Toronto, the Ontario Labour Relations Board was asked to determine the appropriate bargaining unit structures under the Public Sector Labour Relations Transition Act, 1997.

The Board eliminated a small craft unit of operating engineers at a landfill site, integrating them into the broader outside workers unit.

The Board rejected proposals to create a separate health department bargaining unit and a separate nurses' unit within the health department, finding that these employees were appropriately situated within the larger municipal inside workers unit.

However, the Board preserved the separate stand-alone bargaining unit for employees of the Toronto Parking Authority, noting its status as a distinct local board and successor employer under the legislation.

Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 79 v. The City of Toronto, 1998 CanLII 18398

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardAug 31, 1998

Board exercises discretion under s. 133(4) to defer construction grievance to negotiated expedited arbitration process.

The applicant employer referred a grievance to the Ontario Labour Relations Board under section 133 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.

The responding unions argued that the Board should exercise its newly enacted discretion under section 133(4) to refuse the referral and defer to the expedited arbitration process established in the parties' collective agreement.

The Board agreed with the unions, finding that the negotiated enforcement mechanism was a comprehensive and effective system of self-regulation tailored to the construction industry.

The Board refused to accept the referral, allowing the matter to proceed to expedited arbitration.

Kennedy Masonry Company Limited v. Labourers' International Union of North America, Local 183, 1998 CanLII 18297

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardFeb 20, 1998

Union certified as bargaining agent after successful representation vote; rival union denied intervener status.

The applicant union applied for certification to represent administrative and support staff at the Kenora Board of Education.

A representation vote was held, with the vast majority of employees voting in favour of the applicant.

The employer did not oppose the application.

A rival union sought to intervene, arguing that the recent amalgamation of school boards affected the proceedings.

The Board held that the rival union had no status to intervene as it did not represent any of the affected employees.

The Board certified the applicant as the bargaining agent for the employees.
