The union filed a grievance alleging that work performed by the responding party on a watermain cement relining project should have been performed under the Heavy Collective Agreement rather than the Sewer and Watermain Collective Agreement.
The employers' association filed an application requesting a sector determination prior to the grievance referral.
The union brought a motion that the Board not entertain the sector dispute application.
The Board granted the union's motion, finding that a sector determination would not be dispositive of the grievance and was not necessary to resolve the collective agreement interpretation issue.
The sector dispute applications were dismissed and the grievance referral was directed to be listed for hearing.
