The applicant union referred a construction industry grievance to the Board, alleging the employer improperly assigned work to members of another local.
At the hearing, the applicant sought to introduce evidence of an ambiguity in the provincial agreement but had not pleaded this issue.
The Board adjourned the matter to allow for proper pleadings.
Given the delay and the nature of the dispute, the Board issued an interim order permitting the employer to assign the disputed work to members of either local at its discretion until the application is finally resolved.
The Board reserved its decision on the employer's request for costs of the day.
