The applicant filed a termination application naming Local 46 as the responding party.
Local 46 and the Ontario Pipe Trades Council (OPTC) argued the application should be dismissed because the OPTC, as the employee bargaining agency, was the only proper responding party and the application was not delivered to it.
The Board held that an affiliated bargaining agent like Local 46 holds bargaining rights and is a proper responding party.
The Board found the applicant complied with the delivery requirements under section 63(3) of the Labour Relations Act, 1995 and the Board's Rules by delivering the application to Local 46.
