The applicant, a home builder, alleged that the respondent union called or authorized an unlawful strike by employees of its subcontractors at various construction sites.
The Ontario Labour Relations Board found that union representatives had instructed employees of one subcontractor, A-1, not to work, constituting an unlawful strike.
However, the Board found insufficient evidence to conclude that the union called or authorized strikes by employees of other subcontractors, as there was no direct evidence of communication between the union and those employees.
A cease and desist order was issued regarding the A-1 employees.
