The applicant union sought to include a warranty clerk and a cashier in the bargaining unit of service and parts department employees.
The respondent employer argued they were office staff and should be excluded.
The Ontario Labour Relations Board examined the duties, supervision, and working conditions of the two employees.
Applying the community of interest criteria, the Board found that their work was primarily clerical and their functional coherence and interdependence lay with the general accounting office rather than the production employees.
Consequently, the Board excluded both employees from the bargaining unit.
