The applicant union filed an application under section 96 of the Labour Relations Act to enforce a written settlement regarding the contracting out of offender transportation services.
The responding party employer argued that the settlement did not apply to community escort services at a newly built, privately operated correctional facility.
The Board found that the settlement's language regarding offender transportation services was unqualified and encompassed community escorts at all facilities, including the new one.
The Board declared that the employer violated the settlement and ordered it to amend its Request for Qualifications to retain community escort work for bargaining unit members.
