The union applied for an interim order under section 92.1 of the Labour Relations Act, alleging the employer committed unfair labour practices during an organizing drive by distributing and posting a letter that intimidated employees and counselled them to resign their union membership.
The Board granted the interim relief, ordering the employer to remove the letter from the workplace and refrain from communicating with employees to counsel them to resign their union membership, finding that the union made out an arguable case and that the balance of harm favoured preserving the union's right to a meaningful remedy pending the hearing of the main complaint.
