The applicant police association applied to determine the status of the administrative assistant to the police service.
The tribunal found that the position met the requirements of a 'senior officer' under section 114 of the Police Services Act due to its confidential nature, as the employee had unfettered access to restricted documents and assisted with labour relations.
However, because there was no senior officers' association in the municipality, the tribunal ruled that the position could not be excluded from the bargaining unit and must be included in the applicant's collective agreement.
