Union certification application dismissed because the airline subsidiary's operations fall under federal aeronautics jurisdiction.
The applicant union sought certification for employees of Air-Dale Limited, an airline subsidiary of the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission.
The respondent and objectors raised the issue of constitutional jurisdiction.
The Ontario Labour Relations Board determined that the respondent's operations, which involved providing scheduled air services under a Transport Canada licence, fell squarely within the federal Parliament's exclusive jurisdiction over aeronautics.
Consequently, the provincial Labour Relations Act did not apply, and the application for certification was dismissed.
