The Board previously found that the respondent union breached its duty of fair representation towards the complainant technical and professional employees.
In this hearing to determine the appropriate remedy and to consider an application for certification by the complainants' newly formed association, the Board declined to fragment the existing bargaining unit.
The Board also declined to award damages, finding no causal link between the union's breach and the final wage settlement.
Instead, the Board ordered the restructuring of the union's bargaining committee to ensure proportional representation for the higher-rated employees and ordered the posting of a notice acknowledging the breach.
