The applicant union filed an unfair labour practice complaint alleging the respondent employer breached its duty to bargain in good faith by refusing to sign a collective agreement after the union ratified the employer's final offer.
The employer failed to file a reply, and the Board deemed the facts in the application accepted.
The Board found that the employer reneged on its own proposal regarding a specific job classification after the union had altered its position by ratifying it.
The Board declared a violation of the Labour Relations Act and ordered the employer to sign the collective agreement.
