The union and an employee filed complaints alleging that the employer committed numerous unfair labour practices during a union organizing drive and subsequent collective bargaining.
The employer altered terms and conditions of employment during the statutory freeze period, disciplined union supporters, engaged in surface bargaining, and unlawfully locked out employees.
The Board found that the employer violated the Labour Relations Act and the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
The Board ordered extensive remedial relief, including compensation for lost wages and benefits, rescission of unlawful discipline, and directed the settlement of a first collective agreement by arbitration.
