OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardAug 5, 1982

Union violated Labour Relations Act by permitting members to perform struck work for a non-union contractor.

The applicant alleged that the respondent trade union and its officials violated a prior Board order and the Labour Relations Act by supplying union members to a newly formed non-union contractor to perform struck work during a province-wide strike.

The Board found that while the new contractor was not a 'related employer' under section 1(4), the arrangement whereby union members continued to perform the struck work for a non-union employer violated section 146(2) of the Act.

The Board issued a cease and desist order and directed the union to inform its members that they could not perform the struck work.

Board defers examination of additional employees for managerial exclusion pending determination of initially challenged employee.

In two applications for union certification, the respondent employer requested that a Labour Relations Officer examine three additional employees for managerial exclusion if the union's challenge to another employee's status was successful.

The Board deferred the examination of the three additional employees until the status of the initially challenged employee was determined.

The Board also addressed the inclusion of certain employees on both the carpenters' and labourers' lists, noting that if the parties agreed an employee was re-classified between the two application dates, they could be included on both lists.

United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America Local 785 v. Watcon Inc., 1981 CanLII 1024

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardNov 19, 1981

Board defined construction industry bargaining units and appointed an officer to resolve employee list disputes.

Two trade unions applied for certification to represent carpenters and construction labourers employed by the respondent in the construction industry.

The Board determined the appropriate bargaining units, including both the industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) sector province-wide and all other sectors in the relevant geographic areas.

Because the unions challenged the accuracy of the employee lists filed by the respondent, and there was overlap between the lists of carpenters and labourers, the Board appointed a Board Officer to inquire into the composition of the bargaining units and report back before making a final determination on certification.

Interim certification granted for concrete forming employees pending resolution of related employer issues.

The applicant trade union applied for certification for employees engaged in concrete forming construction.

The Board granted an adjournment regarding the related employer and sale of business issues between the two respondents.

However, the Board proceeded with the application concerning Highrise Crane and Rental Limited.

Finding that the applicant had the requisite membership support, the Board granted interim certification for a bargaining unit of employees engaged in concrete forming on residential building projects, pending the final determination of the status of Matterhorn Construction.

Part-time registered nurses found not to exercise managerial functions; union certification granted.

The Ontario Nurses' Association applied for certification to represent five part-time registered nurses employed by the Manitoulin Nursing Home.

The respondent employer argued that the nurses exercised managerial functions and were therefore not 'employees' under section 1(3)(b) of the Labour Relations Act.

The Board found that the nurses' limited supervisory and coordinating duties were inherent to their professional training and did not constitute managerial authority, as they did not make decisions affecting the economic lives of fellow employees.

The Board concluded the nurses were employees within the meaning of the Act and granted the certificate.

Employer found in violation of provincial agreement for failing to hire union members and subcontracting non-union.

The applicant union referred a grievance to the Ontario Labour Relations Board alleging that the respondent employer violated the provincial collective agreement by failing to hire union members and by subcontracting work to a non-union firm.

The employer argued that the collective agreement had expired and that the union's notice to bargain was defective.

The Board found that the parties were bound by the provincial agreement, that the notice to bargain was valid given the parties' subsequent bargaining conduct, and that the employer had violated the hiring and subcontracting provisions.

The Board directed the parties to agree on the amount of damages owing to the union.

Pre-hearing representation vote refused due to complexity and uncertainty of the proposed carve-out bargaining unit.

The applicant union applied for certification to represent employees at Ontario Hydro's nuclear energy facilities, seeking to carve them out of an existing province-wide bargaining unit represented by the intervener.

The applicant requested a pre-hearing representation vote under section 8 of the Labour Relations Act.

The Board refused the request, finding that the proposed bargaining unit was highly complex, uncertain, and a departure from the established province-wide collective bargaining relationship.

The Board concluded that the appropriateness of the bargaining unit must be determined before any representation vote could be reliably conducted.

Canadian Union of Operating Engineers & General Workers v. Ontario Hydro, 1980 CanLII 783

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardFeb 8, 1980

Employer ordered to pay lost wages and trust fund contributions for hiring non-union workers.

The applicant union referred a grievance to the Ontario Labour Relations Board under section 112a of the Labour Relations Act, alleging the respondent employer violated the provincial agreement by hiring non-union construction labourers.

The Board previously found the employer in breach and directed the parties to determine compensation.

Following an audit, the union claimed compensation for lost wages, unpaid trust fund contributions, and legal fees.

The employer argued compensation should be limited to lost union dues.

The Board rejected the employer's argument, finding the union entitled to claim lost wages and trust fund contributions on behalf of its members who were deprived of work.

The Board ordered the employer to pay $8,916.91 in compensation but denied the claim for legal costs.

Labourers' International Union of North America, Local 506 v. Napev Construction Limited and General Contractors Section, Toronto Construction Association, 1980 CanLII 809

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJan 10, 1980

Board orders sector determination to proceed before hearing merits of construction industry grievance.

The applicant union referred a grievance to the Board under section 112a of the Labour Relations Act, alleging the respondent contractor violated a provincial agreement by contracting out work to a firm employing members of an intervening union.

The respondent and intervener argued the work fell within the residential sector, while the applicant claimed it was in the industrial, commercial, and institutional sector.

The Board determined that the sector issue under section 135 of the Act should be resolved prior to considering the merits of the grievance or the intervener's jurisdictional dispute complaint.
