The Board ordered two bargaining units: one for registered and graduate nurses, and one for all other non-managerial employees.
The Board also held that a non-union option must be included on the ballot for any unit where 40% or more of the employees were Crown employees prior to the changeover date.
The geographic scope was limited to the City of Toronto and existing Mississauga employees.
The Board declined to order the disclosure of employee addresses and telephone numbers to the unions due to safety concerns.
Health Promoter work assigned to ONA if performed by a nurse, otherwise to AAHPO.
The employer applied for a work assignment direction regarding the classification of Health Promoter.
The Ontario Nurses' Association (ONA) and the Association of Allied Health Professionals: Ontario (AAHPO) both claimed jurisdiction over the work.
The Board directed that if the employer elects to use a nurse to fill a Health Promoter position, the position must be included in the ONA bargaining unit, but if it elects to use someone who is not a nurse, the position must be included in the AAHPO bargaining unit.
