The employer applied to terminate the union's bargaining rights under section 60(2) of the Labour Relations Act, alleging the union failed to commence bargaining within 60 days of giving notice.
The union gave notice to bargain in July 1992 but did not pursue negotiations despite the employer's attempts to schedule dates.
The Board found the union's explanation of internal re-alignment unsatisfactory but noted the union continued to actively represent employees in grievances.
The Board exercised its discretion to order a representation vote.
