The applicant union filed a complaint alleging that the employer improperly assigned occasional teacher work to members of another union.
The employer and the responding union argued that the dispute involved interpreting the Education Act and should be left to the Minister of Education.
The Board rejected this argument, holding that it has jurisdiction under section 93 of the Labour Relations Act to resolve work assignment disputes, even if the assignment might also violate another statute.
The Board directed the parties to file lists of tasks, witnesses, and evidence in preparation for a hearing.
