OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJun 13, 1991

Individual employee's complaint alleging employer interference with a trade union dismissed for lack of standing.

The complainant, an individual employee, filed an unfair labour practice complaint alleging that the respondent employer contravened section 64 of the Labour Relations Act.

The Board dismissed the complaint for failing to disclose a prima facie case, noting that section 64 protects the institutional rights of a trade union rather than the personal rights of individual employees.

The Board held that a complaint alleging interference with a trade union must be brought by the union itself, and the complainant had not alleged any discrimination or discharge for trade union activity.

Robert James Mically v. Board of Governors, 1991 CanLII 6182

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardApr 15, 1991

OHSA reprisal complaint dismissed; discharge was for unauthorized absence, not for refusing unsafe work.

The complainant, a millwright, alleged he was discharged contrary to section 24 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) after refusing to work due to alleged isocyanate exposure.

The employer maintained the discharge was for failing to provide satisfactory medical evidence for an extended absence, triggering an automatic loss of seniority under the collective agreement.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board found no breach of section 24(1), concluding the discharge was not a reprisal for the work refusal but resulted from the unauthorized absence.

The Board further declined to exercise its discretion under section 24(7) to substitute a lesser penalty, noting the complainant's work refusal was not bona fide and he had abused the statutory rights provided by the OHSA.

G. Ryerson v. H. H. Robertson Inc., 1991 CanLII 6047

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardApr 5, 1991

Adjournment request denied; counsel's scheduling conflict insufficient to delay occupational health and safety hearing.

The complainant requested an adjournment of a scheduled hearing under section 24 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act because his counsel was unavailable.

The respondent opposed the request.

The Board denied the adjournment, noting the statutory objective of expeditious resolution and the fact that the hearing date was fixed before counsel accepted the retainer.

The Board stated the request could be renewed at the commencement of the hearing.

Wade Dennis Procter v. Whitler Industries Ltd., 1991 CanLII 6055

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMar 26, 1991

First contract arbitration directed where employer refused to bargain terms covered by pre-existing native agreement.

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

The employer, bound by a pre-existing multi-party agreement providing employment guarantees for native workers, refused to negotiate terms for native employees that might conflict with that agreement.

The Board found that the employer's rigid adherence to the third-party agreement and refusal to recognize the union's comprehensive bargaining authority over all employees in the unit constituted a refusal to recognize the union.

Given the complex third-party interests impeding bilateral negotiations, the Board directed the settlement of the first collective agreement by arbitration.

United Steelworkers of America v. Placer Dome Inc., 1991 CanLII 6090

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMar 18, 1991

Union barred from recalling discharged company witness in reply for a fishing expedition.

During a hearing into allegations of bad faith bargaining, the union sought to call a former plant manager as a reply witness.

The manager had previously testified for the employer but was subsequently discharged.

The union argued he might now provide a more candid version of events, though counsel had not spoken to him to confirm this.

The majority of the Board declined to allow the evidence, ruling it was not proper reply evidence but rather an attempt to reopen cross-examination on a fishing expedition.

One Board member dissented and would have received the testimony subject to weight.

Windsor Printing Pressman and Assistants' Union, Local 274 v. Sumner Press Ltd., 1991 CanLII 6095

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardFeb 27, 1991

Board directed parties to file written statements of fact and law before scheduling certification hearing.

The applicant union applied for certification to represent a bargaining unit of non-management supervisors.

The respondent employer argued these individuals were not employees under the Labour Relations Act because they exercised managerial functions or were employed in a confidential capacity.

Following a Labour Relations Officer's voluminous report, the union requested an oral hearing.

The Board directed all parties to file complete written statements of fact and law, with transcript and case references, prior to scheduling the oral hearing.

Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers Union, Local No. 880 v. Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited, 1991 CanLII 6115

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardNov 26, 1990

Grievance dismissed; discharge upheld for short-term construction worker who refused work assignment.

The grievor, a truck driver with two weeks of service at the site, was discharged after refusing to repair a damaged truck tire and inviting his foreman to fire him.

The union grieved the discharge, arguing the refusal was motivated by a health condition and that discharge was an excessive penalty.

The Board found the health concern was an ex-post-facto rationalization and that the true reason for the refusal was the grievor's belief that the work was unpleasant and should have been assigned to a junior employee.

The Board declined to substitute a lesser penalty, noting that progressive discipline is attenuated in the construction industry, particularly for short-term employees.

The grievance was dismissed.

Ontario Allied Trades Construction Council v. Electrical Power Systems Construction Association, 1990 CanLII 5627

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJun 26, 1990

Union certified without a vote after employer unlawfully discharged key organizer during organizing campaign.

The union applied for certification and filed an unfair labour practice complaint alleging the employer unlawfully discharged a key union organizer and interfered with the organizing campaign.

The employer claimed the discharge and employee communications were due to a price war with competitors.

The Board found the employer's explanation for the discharge lacked credibility and concluded the employee was terminated for his trade union activity, violating the Labour Relations Act.

Finding that the employer's illegal conduct made it unlikely that the true wishes of the employees could be ascertained through a representation vote, the Board certified the union pursuant to section 8 of the Act and ordered the reinstatement of the discharged employee with compensation.

United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, Local 175 v. David Chapman's Icecream Limited, 1990 CanLII 5740

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMay 15, 1990

Duty of fair representation complaint dismissed; union's advice to settle grievance was not arbitrary or coercive.

The complainant, a registered nurse, filed a complaint alleging that his union breached its duty of fair representation and engaged in intimidation and coercion when it settled his termination grievance prior to arbitration.

The complainant had been terminated after refusing to undergo a psychiatric assessment following a dispute over scheduling and pay.

The union and the hospital reached a settlement which the complainant signed, but he later sought to repudiate it, claiming he was pressured.

The Board dismissed the complaint without a full hearing, finding that the union's advice regarding the merits of the grievance, the risks of arbitration, and the benefits of settlement did not constitute arbitrary, discriminatory, or bad faith conduct, nor did it amount to intimidation.

Dennis Leonard v. Ontario Nurses' Association, 1990 CanLII 5822

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJan 8, 1990

Board directed employer to post decision extending time for objections due to late notice posting.

The applicant union applied for certification and a representation vote was held, resulting in a substantial majority in favour of the union.

However, the employer was unable to post the Form 70 Notice to Employees of the vote results until the day before the time fixed for objections.

Out of an abundance of caution, the Board directed the employer to post this decision and extended the time for employees to contest the election results to January 21, 1990.

If no persuasive representations are received, a certificate will issue.

Canadian Union of Public Employees v. Carleton Roman Catholic Separate School Board, 1990 CanLII 5717

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardNov 3, 1989

Application for unlawful strike declaration dismissed as union gave adequate notice to terminate agreement extension.

The applicant employer sought a declaration that its office employees were engaging in an unlawful strike, arguing they were still bound by a collective agreement extension clause.

The respondent union contended that it had provided adequate notice to terminate the extension arrangement under section 52(2) of the Labour Relations Act.

The Board found that the union's communications, which clearly repudiated the extension and warned of a strike, constituted sufficient 30 days' notice to terminate the bridge agreement.

Having completed the conciliation process, the office employees were entitled to strike.

The application was dismissed.

Caterpillar of Canada Ltd. v. National Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers Union of Canada (CAW-Canada), 1989 CanLII 3013

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardOct 12, 1989

Board establishes mail service practice for certification notices to security guards with irregular work locations.

The applicant union sought to represent a bargaining unit of security guards.

The union raised a concern that posting notices of the certification application on the employer's premises would be inadequate, as guards regularly work at clients' locations, and requested that the Board require clients to post notices.

The Board declined to adopt this approach, noting potential legal and practical difficulties.

Instead, the Board established a practice whereby, if a notice problem is identified, the employer will be directed to supply employee addresses so that notice can be served by mail.

The matter was adjourned pending the resolution of a Charter challenge regarding section 12 of the Labour Relations Act.

United Steelworkers of America v. 445733 Ontario Ltd., 1989 CanLII 3007

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMay 17, 1989

Union certified for several limousine companies after representation votes; related employer declaration granted for three firms.

The applicant trade union sought certification to represent dependent contractor limousine drivers working for several respondent companies.

The Board previously directed pre-hearing representation votes.

The respondents raised several objections, including a request to exclude part-time drivers and students, allegations of voting irregularities, and assertions that certain non-driving brokers were related employers.

The Board declared three of the respondent companies to be one employer under section 1(4) of the Labour Relations Act, rejected the proposed exclusions from the bargaining unit, and dismissed the allegations of voting irregularities as speculative.

Based on the representation vote results, the Board dismissed the certification application respecting Airline Limousine Services Limited, but granted certificates to the union for the bargaining units at the other respondent companies.

Teamsters Local Union No. 938 v. McIntosh Limousine Service Limited, 1989 CanLII 3464

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMay 9, 1989

Board order filed in Supreme Court for enforcement after respondents failed to comply or respond.

The complainant union notified the Board that the respondents failed to comply with a previous Board order directing them to pay $1,983.52 plus interest.

The respondents did not reply to the Board's notice of the allegation of non-compliance.

Finding that the respondents failed to comply, the Board directed that its order be filed in the Supreme Court of Ontario for enforcement pursuant to section 89(6) of the Labour Relations Act.

Sheet Metal Workers' International Association, Local 47 v. Conrad Heating Co., 1989 CanLII 3477

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardFeb 20, 1989

Duty of fair representation complaint dismissed due to 13-month delay in challenging grievance settlement.

The complainants, employees in the construction industry, filed a complaint alleging their union breached its duty of fair representation by settling a policy grievance for multiple collective agreement violations.

The settlement was ratified by a majority of employees, but the complainants objected and subsequently pursued an unsuccessful civil action against the employer.

Thirteen months after the settlement, they filed this complaint seeking to overturn it and pursue claims dating back several years.

The Board exercised its discretion under section 89 of the Labour Relations Act to decline to inquire into the complaint, citing the significant delay, the prejudice to the established collective bargaining relationship, and the policy importance of expeditious dispute resolution in the construction industry.

Carter v. Sheet Metal Workers' International Association, Local 539, 1989 CanLII 3080

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardDec 21, 1988

Grievance dismissed; union failed to prove non-destructive testing work fell within collective agreement scope.

The applicant union referred a grievance to arbitration under section 124 of the Labour Relations Act, alleging the respondent employer violated the collective agreement by having employees perform non-destructive testing at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station without applying the agreement.

The employer argued the agreement only applied to its construction operations, not to non-construction field work.

The Board found the union failed to prove the work in question fell within the scope of the collective agreement, as the evidence did not establish the technicians were engaged in construction operations.

The grievance was dismissed.

Quality Control Council of Canada v. Babcock and Wilcox Canada Ltd., 1988 CanLII 3736

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardDec 5, 1988

Union membership cards signed after permanent layoff are not counted for automatic certification.

The applicant union applied for certification to represent a bargaining unit of the respondent's employees.

During the inquiry into the employee list, it was discovered that two individuals signed union membership cards after they had been permanently laid off by the respondent.

The Board held that no weight should be given to membership evidence signed by individuals after they have severed their employment relationship, as they cannot be considered employees in the bargaining unit.

Because the union's entitlement to automatic certification depended on these two cards, the Board ordered a representation vote to determine the wishes of the employees.

Labourers' International Union of North America, Local 1089 v. Catalytic Maintenance Inc., 1988 CanLII 3792

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardOct 14, 1988

Certification applications dismissed without imposing a bar on future applications.

The applicant union sought to withdraw a series of certification applications filed in 1984 with the intent to file new ones.

The respondent employers argued that the applications should be dismissed and a 10-month bar imposed on any new applications pursuant to section 103(2)(i) of the Labour Relations Act.

The Board dismissed the applications but declined to impose a bar, noting that section 103(2)(i) is not a penal provision and should not be applied where the union's legal position was ultimately vindicated in earlier proceedings.

Teamsters Local Union No. 352 v. McDonnell-Ronald Limousine Service Limited, 1988 CanLII 7045

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardAug 17, 1988

Borrowed $1.00 payment for union membership dues satisfies statutory requirement for certification evidence.

In an application for certification, the respondent employer challenged the union's membership evidence, alleging a 'non-pay' issue.

An employee had borrowed the required $1.00 membership fee from a co-worker and paid it to the union organizer.

The employer argued this did not constitute a financial sacrifice or a payment 'on his own behalf' under section 1(1)(l) of the Labour Relations Act.

The Board rejected this argument, holding that the borrowed dollar became the employee's money to dispose of as he pleased, and its payment satisfied the statutory requirement.

The matter was re-listed to determine remaining issues regarding employee status and part-time exclusions.

The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, Local Union 27 v. Calvano Lumber & Trim Co. Ltd., 1988 CanLII 3772

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardAug 10, 1988

Union certified; Board refused to extend terminal date for late-filed employee objections.

The applicant trade union applied for certification.

A group of employees sought to file a statement of opposition after the terminal date and requested an extension of time.

The Board declined to extend the terminal date, noting that the employees had sufficient notice and time to file their objections.

As the union filed timely documentary evidence of membership for more than 55% of the employees in the bargaining unit, the Board granted the application and issued a certificate.
