Application for successor rights dismissed; purchase of school buses did not constitute a sale of business.

The applicant union alleged that a sale of a business occurred under section 69 of the Labour Relations Act when the responding party, Northway Bus Lines, purchased school buses from Hanmer Bus Lines after Hanmer went out of business.

Northway also hired some former Hanmer drivers and was awarded bus routes by the school board that Hanmer previously serviced.

The Board dismissed the application, finding that Northway merely purchased physical assets and did not acquire Hanmer's business or any part of it.

The school board routes were awarded through a normal competitive process and did not constitute a transfer of a business.

Application to enforce settlement dismissed as memorandum was unsigned; hearing adjourned to argue oral settlement.

The employer brought an application alleging the union failed to comply with a settlement of an unfair labour practice complaint.

The union brought a preliminary motion to dismiss the application because the written Memorandum of Settlement was not signed by its representative.

The Board granted the union's motion and dismissed the employer's application, noting that section 96(7) of the Labour Relations Act requires a settlement to be signed by the parties to be enforceable under that section.

However, the Board adjourned the union's underlying unfair labour practice complaint to hear legal argument on whether an oral settlement had been reached, assuming the union's version of facts that the employer's counsel had added an inaccurate term to the written draft which was subsequently removed.

A representation vote was held, and more than fifty percent of the ballots were cast in favour of the applicant.

The Board directed that a certificate issue to the applicant.
