The union filed an unfair labour practice complaint and an application for consent to prosecute the employer, arising from the reorganization of the employer's business.
The union had also filed grievances under the collective agreement which were proceeding to arbitration.
The Board deferred the unfair labour practice complaint to arbitration, noting the substantial overlap in issues, evidence, and remedies, and retained jurisdiction to ensure the matter proceeds expeditiously.
The Board also adjourned the application for consent to prosecute.
