Employer violated statutory freeze period by revoking employee's privilege of not working Saturdays and discharging her.
The complainant union alleged that the respondent employer violated the Labour Relations Act by discharging an employee for refusing to work on Saturdays.
The Board found no evidence of violations under sections 58 or 61.
However, the Board determined that the employee had a long-standing privilege of not working on Saturdays, which the employer altered without the union's consent during the statutory freeze period following certification.
The Board held that the employer violated section 70 of the Act and ordered the employee's reinstatement with full compensation.
