The complainant union alleged that the respondent employer failed to comply with a previous Board order directing the parties to bargain in good faith.
During a mediation meeting, the respondent tabled new proposals and insisted they be resolved before any economic issues or the union's prior proposals could be discussed.
The Board found that the respondent's insistence on limiting discussion to its own pre-conditions restricted the rational, informed discussion required by the duty to bargain in good faith.
The Board concluded the respondent failed to comply with the previous order and directed the filing of the determination with the Supreme Court for enforcement.
