The applicant union brought a preliminary motion regarding the filings made by the respondent in a series of certification applications.
The applicant argued that an agreement on the parties' respective positions had been reached before the Labour Relations Officer.
The Ontario Labour Relations Board dismissed the motion, finding that no such agreement was reached and that the Board had subsequently appointed an Officer to inquire into the list and composition of the bargaining unit.
The Board directed that the applications proceed based on the positions taken at the commencement of the Officer's inquiry.
