The complainants alleged they were indefinitely laid off because of their support for a union during an organizing campaign, contrary to sections 66 and 70 of the Labour Relations Act.
The employer argued the layoffs were strictly due to the loss of a major assembly contract with General Motors.
The Board found no evidence of an organized plan to protect anti-union employees or any anti-union animus connected to the layoffs.
The employer successfully demonstrated that the layoffs were motivated by legitimate business reasons.
The complaint was dismissed.
