Board grants certification for comprehensive bargaining unit to avoid fragmentation and combines it with existing unit.
The union applied for certification of a group of unrepresented employees at the Salvation Army's Mental Health Services in Metropolitan Toronto, and sought to combine this new unit with an existing unit it already represented.
The employer argued for four separate bargaining units based on location and function.
Applying the Hospital for Sick Children test, the Board found the union's proposed comprehensive unit appropriate, noting it avoided the labour relations problems associated with fragmentation.
Following certification, the Board ordered the combination of the new and existing bargaining units on the agreement of the parties.
