The employer applied to terminate the union's bargaining rights under s. 65(2) of the Labour Relations Act, 1995, alleging the union failed to bargain a renewal collective agreement.
The union brought a preliminary motion to dismiss the application as untimely under s. 67(2).
The Board found that the timelines in s. 67(2) apply to applications under s. 65(2).
Because a conciliation officer had been appointed and no 'no board' report had been issued, the closed period remained in effect.
The application was dismissed as untimely.
