The applicant filed an application to terminate the respondent union's bargaining rights during what would normally be the open period of the collective agreement.
The respondent union argued the application was untimely because the Inflation Restraint Act, 1982 extended the collective agreement for one year, thereby postponing the open period.
The Board applied its previous reasoning in Broadway Manor, finding that the statutory extension of the agreement closed the open period for termination applications.
The Board also rejected arguments that the Inflation Restraint Act violated the freedom of association under the Charter.
The application was dismissed as untimely.
