The South Bruce Grey Health Centre applied to the Board under the Public Sector Labour Relations Transition Act, 1997 to determine the number and descriptions of bargaining units following the amalgamation of four predecessor hospitals.
The Board ruled that the bargaining units should span all four hospital locations rather than being site-specific, to facilitate administrative and programmatic changes.
Following this ruling, the parties agreed on the descriptions for an all-employees unit, a paramedical unit, and a nurses unit, and representation votes were ordered.
