The Minister referred a request to the Ontario Labour Relations Board under section 139 of the Labour Relations Act to amend an employer bargaining agency designation.
The applicant, previously an unincorporated association, incorporated to facilitate normal business transactions and sought to have the designation amended to reflect its new corporate status.
The Board found that the incorporated association had the full capacity to function as a designated employer bargaining agency and that the amendment would not adversely affect collective bargaining in the construction industry.
The Board advised the Minister to accede to the application.
