The applicant union brought a related employer application and an unfair labour practice complaint concerning the transfer of work from one facility to another.
The respondents requested that the Board rule on preliminary issues regarding the scope of relief and deferral to arbitration.
As the hearing on the merits would require at least six days and would be heard by a differently constituted panel, the current panel declined to entertain the preliminary arguments.
The matter was adjourned to be scheduled for a hearing on the merits, leaving the preliminary issues for the new panel to decide.
