The union filed an unfair labour practice complaint alleging the employer violated the Labour Relations Act by taking a collective agreement with a term of less than one year to a final offer vote.
A group of employees filed an application to terminate bargaining rights.
The Board found that the collective agreement did not operate retroactively and therefore its term violated section 58(1) of the Act.
The Board determined the collective agreement commenced on the date of execution, making the termination application untimely.
The unfair labour practice complaint was dismissed as the union's conduct was ambiguous.
