The applicant union brought applications under sections 63 and 1(4) of the Labour Relations Act alleging a sale of business and that the two respondent companies constituted a single employer.
The section 63 application was withdrawn.
The respondents conceded common control and direction.
The Board found that although the second company engaged in a broader scope of work than the first, both performed concrete construction work utilizing similar employee skills.
The Board concluded the entities engaged in associated or related activities and exercised its discretion to declare them one employer, binding the second company to the union's collective agreement.
