The applicant sought accreditation as the bargaining agent for employers in the sewers and watermains sector.
The respondent and interveners challenged the applicant's status, arguing it was not a properly constituted employers' organization under the Labour Relations Act due to alleged defects in its by-laws and their enactment.
The Board found that the applicant was an employers' organization within the meaning of the Act and that its by-laws were properly enacted.
The Board held that imposing additional pre-conditions for accreditation based on internal by-law provisions would exceed its jurisdiction, and concluded the applicant was a properly constituted organization.
