The applicant union sought to include Inspectors and Instructors in the bargaining unit.
The responding party employer argued they exercised managerial functions and should be excluded under section 1(3) of the Labour Relations Act.
The Board applied the effective control test and found that Inspectors have significant disciplinary authority and Instructors have the power to effectively recommend the retention or dismissal of probationary employees.
The Board concluded that both classifications exercise managerial functions and are excluded from the bargaining unit.
