The applicant employer applied under section 59(2) of the Labour Relations Act to terminate the respondent union's bargaining rights.
The union had given notice to bargain in February 1983 but failed to commence bargaining or demonstrate any continued interest in its bargaining rights.
The bargaining unit had no employees since the plant's boiler system was automated in March 1982.
The union did not reply to the application and failed to appear at the hearing.
The Ontario Labour Relations Board exercised its discretion to terminate the union's bargaining rights without a representation vote.
