The applicant union sought interim relief under section 92.1(1) of the Labour Relations Act to reinstate a discharged union supporter and to cease the unilateral alteration of another employee's terms and conditions of employment during a statutory freeze.
The Board dismissed the request for interim reinstatement, finding that the balance of labour relations harm did not favour intervention given the stage of collective bargaining and the pending first contract arbitration.
However, the Board granted interim relief regarding the statutory freeze, directing the employer to restore the employee's terms and conditions of employment to those in effect when notice to bargain was given.
