In an application for certification by Shopmen's Local 834, the Ontario Labour Relations Board dealt with several preliminary motions.
The Board denied the respondent's request for an adjournment to give notice to other parties, ruling the issue was raised too late.
The Board also denied a request to extend the terminal date due to an intervener application, maintaining its practice of using the original application's dates.
Finally, the Board refused to defer the certification applications pending the outcome of related grievance referrals.
A Board Officer was appointed to conduct a record check regarding the bargaining unit composition.
