The applicant union sought an interim order under section 92.1 of the Labour Relations Act to reinstate an employee who was allegedly discharged for union organizing activities.
The employer argued the discharge was for reasons unrelated to the union campaign.
The Board applied the test for interim relief, balancing the potential harm to the union's organizing campaign against the potential disruption to the employer's workplace.
Finding that the harm of not granting the order outweighed the harm of granting it, the Board directed the interim reinstatement of the employee pending the final disposition of the unfair labour practice complaint.
