Four related jurisdictional disputes were filed regarding the assignment of work involving the uncrating, unpacking, and disposal of packaging material for a direct strip mill.
The employer had assigned the work to various trades, and the Labourers grieved the assignment.
The Board held that the uncrating of equipment and the dismantling or disposal of packaging material during the uncrating process was properly assigned to the trades.
However, once the equipment was entirely uncrated, the disposal and clean-up of the remaining packaging material was the work of the Labourers.
