The applicants sought declarations and directions regarding an anticipated work stoppage by the responding trade unions in support of the 'Days of Protest' against the provincial government.
The Board found that the planned concerted refusal to work during the term of a collective agreement constituted an unlawful strike under the Labour Relations Act, 1995, notwithstanding its political purpose.
The Board exercised its discretion to issue declaratory relief and cease-and-desist directions, noting the applicants' unsuccessful efforts to accommodate the protest and the unions' clear intention to disrupt production.
