The applicant union applied for certification of security guards at a condominium site.
Shortly after the application date, Meadowvale Security Guard Services Inc. acquired the contract for the site and became the new employer.
Meadowvale already had a collective agreement with the intervenor union (CLAC) that contained a broad recognition clause covering future sites.
The Board declined to proceed with the certification application, finding that the complex issues regarding the validity of the collective agreement, intermingling of employees, and representation rights could only be properly addressed if a successor employer application under section 64 of the Labour Relations Act was filed.
