The union applied under the Successor Rights (Crown Transfers) Act, alleging that the Ministry of Natural Resources transferred an undertaking to a partnership contracted to perform a creel survey.
The Board found that the creel survey was an undertaking and that the partnership was an 'employer' within the meaning of the Act, regardless of whether it hired employees.
The Board declared that the undertaking was transferred and the partnership was bound by the collective agreement between the union and the Crown.
