The union applied under section 81 of the Colleges Collective Bargaining Act for a determination of the employment status of persons working at a co-operative providing bookstore and food services at a college.
The college and the co-operative raised a preliminary objection that the Board lacked jurisdiction to determine the identity of the employer under section 81.
The Board held that it has jurisdiction to determine who is the true employer as a necessary part of determining employee status under the Act.
