The applicant filed an application to terminate the respondent union's bargaining rights.
In the interim, the intervenor employer sought a direction from the Board relieving it of its obligation to bargain with the union until the termination application was resolved, or guidance on the scope of its bargaining obligation.
The Board declined to issue the requested directions, noting that a termination application does not automatically relieve an employer of its duty to bargain, and that it would be premature to address the issue in the absence of a specific unfair labour practice complaint.
