The Ontario Public Service Employees Union applied for declarations under the Successor Rights (Crown Transfers) Act that the Crown transferred undertakings to several private entities, including Moose Creek Forestry Company, Harold Luckasavitch, and Charmaine's Janitorial Services.
The functions involved transplanting seedlings, operating park campgrounds, and providing janitorial services.
The Board found that the provision of these services constituted 'undertakings' or parts of undertakings within the meaning of the Act, rather than mere sub-contracts for labour.
The Board declared that the undertakings were transferred to the private entities, binding them to the collective agreement between the Crown and the union.
