The Board heard a jurisdictional dispute complaint and a related construction industry grievance regarding a work assignment.
The employer had assigned certain work to the Millwrights, and the IBEW filed a grievance.
The Board found that the collective agreements of both unions contained provisions requiring work assignment disputes to be referred to the Plan for Settlement of Jurisdictional Disputes in the Construction Industry.
Consequently, the Board dismissed the grievance as it was not arbitrable under the agreement, and dismissed the jurisdictional dispute complaint pursuant to section 91(14) of the Labour Relations Act for lack of jurisdiction.
