The Ontario Labour Relations Board issued a bottom-line decision regarding the restructuring of bargaining units at the newly amalgamated City of Kingston under the Public Sector Labour Relations Transition Act, 1997.
The Board directed the preservation of the ONA nurses' unit and a separate utilities unit represented by the IBEW.
Transit workers represented by the CAW were folded into a broader all-employee unit proposed by CUPE.
The Board also defined the firefighters' unit and directed the parties to finalize the remaining bargaining unit descriptions with the assistance of a Board Officer.
