The applicant union sought interim relief under section 92.1(1) of the Labour Relations Act, requesting that the successor employers be ordered to provide a pension plan equivalent to the Public Service Pension Plan pending the disposition of the main application.
The main application alleged that the employers violated the statutory freeze under section 81(1) by altering the pension plan.
The Board found that the applicant had demonstrated an arguable case and that the balance of harm favoured granting the interim relief to restore the collective bargaining positions of the parties.
The Board ordered the employers to provide the equivalent pension plan forthwith.
