The City of Hamilton brought applications under the Public Sector Labour Relations Transition Act, 1997 following the amalgamation of various local authorities.
During a consultation, the parties reached agreements to exclude certain bargaining units, including those related to HECFI and specific lodges, from the proceedings.
The Board recorded these agreements, released UFCW and IATSE from the applications, and issued directions for the filing of proposals and scheduling of further consultation dates to determine the remaining bargaining unit configurations.
