OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardOct 16, 1996

Company permitted to use court reporter at OLRB hearing, subject to disclosure conditions if transcript referenced.

During a hearing regarding allegations of bad faith bargaining, the company's counsel sought to use a court reporter to record the proceedings.

The union objected, arguing it diminished the Board's control and prejudiced the union.

The Board ruled that the company could use a court reporter, but the transcript would not be the official record.

The Board further ordered that if the company's counsel intended to refer to the transcript during the hearing, they must notify the other parties and provide copies to the union and the Board at the union's and company's respective expenses.

A Group of Employees of J.P. Murphy Inc. v. Retail Wholesale Canada Canadian Service Sector, Division of the United Steelworkers of America, Local 448, 1996 CanLII 11201

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJul 11, 1996

Certification application dismissed; proposed bargaining unit of GFT secretaries found inappropriate due to fragmentation concerns.

The applicant union applied for certification to represent a bargaining unit consisting solely of Geographic Full-Time (GFT) secretaries employed by the responding hospital.

The hospital argued that the GFT secretaries did not constitute an appropriate bargaining unit and should be included in a larger unit of all clerical and administrative employees.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board found that while GFT secretaries had some distinct characteristics, such as precarious job security tied to individual physicians and a history of separate association, creating a separate bargaining unit for them would cause undue fragmentation and serious labour relations problems.

The Board concluded that the proposed unit was not viable for collective bargaining and dismissed the application.

United Steelworkers of America v. University Hospital, 1996 CanLII 11124

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJan 25, 1996

Application to terminate bargaining rights for fraud dismissed due to employer's failure to respond to original certification.

The applicant employer sought to terminate the responding party trade union's bargaining rights under section 64 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995, alleging the union obtained its certificate by fraud.

The employer claimed the union filed membership evidence for individuals it knew were not employed by the employer.

The Board dismissed the application on preliminary objections, finding that the employer had received notice of the original certification application but failed to respond.

The Board held that the union's assertion of the employer's identity in the certification application, even if incorrect, did not constitute fraud, as the employer had the opportunity and obligation to dispute it during the certification process.

Law Development Group v. Carpenters and Allied Workers Local 27, United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, 1996 CanLII 11163

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJan 10, 1996

Jurisdictional dispute resolved in favour of nurses' union based on collective agreement protection and past practice.

The applicant union (AAHP:O) sought a declaration that the employer properly assigned the work of a newly hired Genetic Counsellor to its bargaining unit.

The responding union (ONA) argued the work belonged exclusively to its nurses' bargaining unit, as nurses had historically performed the work.

The employer and AAHP:O advocated for a composite crew approach, allowing both nurses and non-nurses to perform the role depending on their qualifications.

The Board held that ONA's collective agreement language protecting work normally performed by nurses, combined with the employer's past practice of exclusively using nurses for the role since 1976, outweighed the employer's preference for a multi-disciplinary approach.

The Board ordered the employer to restore the assignment of the work to the ONA bargaining unit.

Association of Allied Health Professionals: Ontario v. Ontario Nurses' Association, 1996 CanLII 11164

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJan 3, 1996

Board directed parties to provide information regarding disputed number of employees in bargaining unit.

The applicants filed an application for termination of bargaining rights.

A discrepancy arose regarding the number of employees in the bargaining unit, with the applicants claiming 54, the employer claiming 56, and the union claiming 63.

The Board directed the union to indicate whether it disputed the employer's schedule and to provide documentary evidence, and directed the employer and applicants to respond accordingly.

McLellan et al. v. Ontario Public Service Employees Union, 1996 CanLII 11169

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardDec 15, 1995

Motion to defer unfair labour practice complaint to arbitration dismissed as statutory rights were engaged.

The union filed an unfair labour practice complaint alleging that the employer bargained in bad faith and committed reprisals by abolishing the Quality Assurance Inspector positions after a successful classification grievance and salary arbitration.

The employer brought a preliminary motion requesting the Board to defer the matter to the Grievance Settlement Board.

The Board declined to defer, finding that the allegations involved significant statutory rights under the Labour Relations Act that were not essentially contractual in nature, and that the remedial powers of the arbitrator might be inadequate to address the alleged bad faith bargaining and anti-union animus.

Ontario Public Service Employees Union v. The Crown in Right of Ontario as represented by the Ministry of Transportation, 1995 CanLII 10033

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardDec 13, 1995

Union's application to determine employee status dismissed as the issue was settled during collective bargaining.

The union filed an application under section 114(2) of the Labour Relations Act, 1995, seeking a determination of the employee status of four lead hands.

The employer brought a preliminary motion to dismiss the application, arguing that the issue had been settled during collective bargaining and no 'question' had arisen within the meaning of the Act.

The Board agreed with the employer, finding that the union had explicitly agreed not to pursue the status issue until the next round of bargaining.

As the current collective agreement was still in operation and no significant changes to duties were alleged, the Board concluded that no question had arisen and dismissed the application.

IWA Canada Local 1-1000 v. Madawaska Hardwood Flooring Inc., 1995 CanLII 10031

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardDec 12, 1995

Bank breached collective agreement by subcontracting to non-signatory after Board decision ended estoppel.

The union referred a grievance to arbitration alleging that the Bank breached the subcontracting provision of the provincial collective agreement by contracting with a non-signatory.

In a previous decision, the Board held that the union was estopped from relying on the subcontracting provisions until the issuance of that decision on May 3, 1995.

The Bank argued that the bidding process for the disputed project began before May 3, 1995, and therefore the estoppel still applied.

The Board found that the Bank entered into the contract after May 3, 1995, and was therefore bound to comply with the collective agreement.

The Board held that the Bank breached the agreement and remitted the matter to the parties to determine damages.

United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, Local Union 2050 v. Toronto Dominion Bank, 1995 CanLII 10032

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardSep 20, 1995

Request to postpone pre-hearing representation vote for university faculty denied; academics treated same as other employees.

The applicant trade union applied for certification and sought a pre-hearing representation vote.

Intervenors, representing a group of faculty members, requested a postponement of the vote, arguing that as university academics they required more time for full and frank discussion of the issues.

The Board dismissed the request, holding that academic staff should not be treated differently from other employees and that prompt representation votes serve the compelling labour relations purpose of minimizing improper interference.

Queen's University Faculty Association v. Queen's University at Kingston, 1995 CanLII 9930

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardSep 8, 1995

Interim reinstatement granted for key union supporter terminated shortly after certification.

The union applied for interim relief under section 92.1 of the Labour Relations Act, seeking the reinstatement of a key union supporter whose employment was terminated shortly after the union was certified.

The employer argued the termination was for economic reasons and that the position was no longer required.

The Board found an arguable case that the termination was related to union activities and concluded that the labour relations harm to the union outweighed the harm to the employer.

The Board ordered the interim reinstatement of the employee pending the hearing of the main unfair labour practice complaint.

United Steelworkers of America v. Videolux Canada Inc., 1995 CanLII 9932

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardAug 9, 1995

Employer ordered to sign collective agreement after reneging on its own ratified proposal.

The applicant union filed an unfair labour practice complaint alleging the respondent employer breached its duty to bargain in good faith by refusing to sign a collective agreement after the union ratified the employer's final offer.

The employer failed to file a reply, and the Board deemed the facts in the application accepted.

The Board found that the employer reneged on its own proposal regarding a specific job classification after the union had altered its position by ratifying it.

The Board declared a violation of the Labour Relations Act and ordered the employer to sign the collective agreement.

United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, Local 175 v. K & Son Maintenance Co. Inc., 1995 CanLII 9948

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardAug 8, 1995

Board asserts provincial jurisdiction over distribution warehouse but rejects union's proposed driver-only bargaining unit.

The union applied for certification of a bargaining unit consisting of drivers and driver helpers at the employer's Mississauga warehouse.

The employer argued that its operations fell under federal jurisdiction due to inter-provincial transportation and that the proposed unit was inappropriate because it excluded warehouse personnel.

The Board held that the employer's operations fell within provincial jurisdiction, as its trucking activities were integral to its provincial distribution business and it did not operate as a common carrier.

However, the Board found the proposed bargaining unit inappropriate due to concerns about fragmentation and the shared community of interest between drivers and warehouse employees.

The Board indicated it would order a representation vote in the broader unit if requested by the union.

United Steelworkers of America v. Pepsi-Cola Canada Ltd., 1995 CanLII 9942

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJun 26, 1995

Board asserts jurisdiction under Agricultural Labour Relations Act and upholds union membership evidence despite employee's change of heart.

The union applied for certification under the Agricultural Labour Relations Act.

The employer raised a preliminary objection to the Board's jurisdiction, arguing the agriculture industry division was not properly designated because the Chair did not consult the Agricultural Labour Management Advisory Committee.

The Board dismissed the objection, finding no statutory requirement for such consultation.

The Board then considered an allegation regarding a union membership card signed by an intervening employee who subsequently changed her mind and asked for the card back.

The Board held that the initial application for membership was valid and that a subsequent change of heart did not invalidate the card for the purposes of the certification application.

As the union had sufficient membership evidence, a certificate was issued.

United Food and Commercial Workers International Union v. Highline Produce Limited, 1995 CanLII 9980

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJun 1, 1995

Employer failed to rebut reverse onus; termination of four union organizers found to be an unfair labour practice.

The union filed an unfair labour practice complaint alleging that the employer terminated four employees because they acted as inside organizers for the union.

The employer claimed the terminations were part of a normal course layoff due to restructuring and performance issues.

During the hearing, the employer sought to call a witness in reply to contradict the union's evidence, which the Board denied as improper case-splitting.

Applying the reverse onus under section 91(5) of the Labour Relations Act, the Board found the employer failed to establish that the decision to terminate the four organizers was free of anti-union animus.

The Board ordered the immediate reinstatement of the employees with full compensation.

United Steelworkers of America v. Sidus Systems Inc., 1995 CanLII 9971

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMay 23, 1995

Work assignment application dismissed; Health Promoter classification properly assigned to all-employee bargaining unit.

The applicant union applied for a work assignment direction regarding the classification of Health Promoter, which the employer had assigned to the responding union's all-employee bargaining unit.

The applicant argued the work should be assigned to its paramedical bargaining unit.

The Board considered the employer's preference, the community of interest, and the interdisciplinary nature of the work.

The Board concluded that it was in the best interests of sound labour relations to sustain the employer's assignment of the Health Promoter classification to the responding union's bargaining unit, avoiding seniority and administrative issues.

The application was dismissed.

Association of Allied Health Professionals: Ontario v. The Board of Health for the Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox and Addington Health Unit, 1995 CanLII 9914

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardMar 20, 1995

Applications for union membership are sufficient to establish membership support for a pre-hearing representation vote.

The union applied for certification and requested a pre-hearing representation vote under section 9 of the Labour Relations Act.

The employer objected, arguing that the union's documentary evidence consisted only of applications for membership, not actual membership, and that some employees had subsequently withdrawn their support.

The Board held that for the purposes of section 9, an application for membership is sufficient to establish membership support, consistent with long-standing Board practice and legislative intent.

The Board further held that letters withdrawing support do not constitute a revocation of membership.

The Board directed that the ballots from the pre-hearing vote be counted.

Teamsters Local Union 938 v. Knob Hill Farms Limited, 1995 CanLII 9952

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardJan 25, 1995

Union certified; employee petitions opposing certification rejected as objectors failed to establish voluntariness.

The United Steelworkers of America applied for certification.

A group of objecting employees filed petitions opposing the union.

The employer argued the application was an abuse of process because it was filed immediately after a previous application was withdrawn.

The Board dismissed the employer's preliminary motion, finding no substantial prejudice.

The Board then assessed the voluntariness of the employee petitions.

Due to inconsistencies in testimony, the open nature of the workplace discussions, and the manner of circulation, the Board found the objectors failed to establish the petitions were voluntary.

As the union had support from more than 55% of the bargaining unit, the Board granted certification.

United Steelworkers of America v. A-1 Rent-A-Tool Ontario Ltd., 1995 CanLII 9995

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardDec 21, 1994

Discharge for poor performance without progressive discipline lacked just cause; reinstatement ordered.

The applicant trade union alleged that the responding party employer violated section 81.2 of the Labour Relations Act by discharging an employee without just cause prior to the settlement of a first collective agreement.

The employer argued the discharge was justified due to the employee's poor work performance and failure to improve after a 'last chance' warning.

The Board found that while the employee had been careless on several occasions, the 'last chance' warning was an inappropriate escalation of progressive discipline given his prior discipline-free record.

The Board concluded the discharge was without just cause, substituted a written warning, and ordered the employee reinstated with full compensation.

Office and Professional Employees' International Union, Local 343 v. Ombudsman Ontario, 1994 CanLII 9801

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardNov 30, 1994

Board directs counting of representation vote ballots, finding applicant association is a valid trade union without employer support.

The Euclid-Hitachi Employees Association applied for certification to displace the incumbent CAW.

The CAW argued the application should be barred due to a recently dismissed termination application, that the Association was not a valid trade union, and that the employer had provided unlawful support to the Association.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board held that the application was not barred because the prior termination application did not result in a vote.

The Board further found that the Association met the statutory definition of a trade union and that the evidence did not establish employer support or interference.

The Board directed that the ballots from the pre-hearing representation vote be counted.

A dissenting member would have dismissed the application on all three grounds.

Euclid-Hitachi Employees Association v. Euclid-Hitachi Heavy Equipment Ltd., 1994 CanLII 9914

OLRBOntario Labour Relations BoardNov 21, 1994

Board declares responding party a successor employer after it failed to dispute the union's application.

The applicant union filed an application under section 64 of the Labour Relations Act alleging a sale of a business from Circle Inn Limited to Syl-Shar Holdings Inc. The predecessor employer agreed to the material facts, and the responding party did not file a response.

The Board accepted the undisputed facts as true and declared the responding party to be a successor employer to whom a part of the business had been sold.
