Board orders representation vote and posting of notices following settlement of certification application.
The applicant union sought certification without a representation vote under section 8 of the Labour Relations Act, alleging contraventions by the respondent employer.
During the hearing, the parties reached a settlement and filed Minutes of Settlement.
The Board accepted the settlement, found the applicant to be a trade union, defined the appropriate bargaining unit, and directed that a representation vote be taken.
The Board also ordered the respondent to post a notice to employees regarding their rights under the Act and the terms of the settlement.
Unfair labour practice complaint dismissed; employer established discharge was for violating disciplinary rules, not union activity.
The union filed a complaint alleging that the employer discharged the grievor because of her union activity, contrary to section 66 of the Labour Relations Act.
The employer maintained that the grievor was discharged pursuant to its disciplinary practice after receiving a third written warning for violating published rules.
The Board found that the employer established good cause for the discharge and that there was insufficient evidence to infer the employer had knowledge of the grievor's union activities or acted out of anti-union animus.
The complaint was dismissed.
