The applicant trade union referred a grievance to the Board alleging the employer failed to pay proper wage rates under the provincial ICI agreement for work performed at a Dofasco project.
The employer asserted the work was maintenance covered by a project agreement.
The General Presidents' Maintenance Committee for Canada (G.P.C.) and Dofasco sought standing to intervene.
The Board held that neither had standing as of right, as they were not bound by the ICI agreement.
However, the Board exercised its discretion to grant standing to the G.P.C. given its role in administering maintenance agreements and the potential impact on the collective bargaining system.
Dofasco was denied standing.
