The Board deferred determination of a section 8.1 issue raised by the employer regarding the bargaining unit size.

The responding party employer brought a preliminary motion to dismiss the applicant union's unfair labour practice complaint due to delay.

The union alleged that four employees were terminated contrary to the Act, with the application filed between two and a half to eight months after the terminations.

The Board declined to exercise its discretion to dismiss the application for delay, noting the serious nature of the allegations involving termination of employment and the lack of actual prejudice to the employer.

Following the amalgamation of Moore Township and Sombra Township into St. Clair Township, OPSEU applied for certification to represent employees of Moore Township.

St. Clair Township subsequently filed an application under the Public Sector Labour Relations Transition Act (PSLRTA).

The issue was whether OPSEU could participate in the PSLRTA process given that its certification application was filed just prior to the amalgamation changeover date.

The Board held that OPSEU had demonstrated a sufficient interest in the proceedings by virtue of its certification application and successful representation vote, and exercised its discretion to grant OPSEU intervenor status in the PSLRTA application.

The applicant trade union filed an application for certification to represent employees of the responding party.

The matter was scheduled for further hearing.
