The SEIU filed an unfair labour practice complaint and sought new representation votes under the Public Sector Labour Relations Transition Act, alleging irregularities by the Hospital and CUPE prior to the votes.
The Hospital and CUPE brought a motion to dismiss the complaint under s. 23(19) of the Act.
The Board granted the motion, finding that despite any alleged irregularities, the results of the representation votes reflected the true wishes of the majority of the employees in the bargaining units.
The Board appointed CUPE as the bargaining agent for both the Service Full-Time and Service Part-Time units.
