The Ontario Labour Relations Board held a consultation regarding a jurisdictional dispute over a work assignment between the Bricklayers and the Operative Plasterers.
The employer had a pre-existing collective agreement with the Bricklayers but voluntarily recognized the Operative Plasterers for the project in question.
The Board determined that the work ought to have been assigned to the Bricklayers, given their pre-existing bargaining rights covering the work, compared to the recently recognized Operative Plasterers.
The related unfair labour practice and construction industry grievance applications were adjourned sine die.
