The applicant trade union applied for certification for a bargaining unit of glaziers and glaziers' apprentices in the employ of the respondent.
The respondent argued that the employees in question were not certified journeymen or registered apprentices under the Apprenticeship and Tradesmen's Qualification Act, and therefore should not be included in the bargaining unit, relying on the Board's previous decision in Irvcon.
The Board noted a potential exception under O. Reg. 36 and directed the matter to be listed for a continuation of hearing to hear evidence and representations on whether the Director of Apprenticeship considers the trade of glazier to be one requiring compliance with the Act.
