The applicants filed applications to terminate the bargaining rights of the responding party union with respect to the intervenor employer.
The sole issue was whether any employees were working within the geographic scope of the relevant collective agreements on the application date.
The employees were working in St. Thomas, which is outside the geographic scope of the agreements (Board Area 8 and Simcoe County).
The Board found that the travel allowance provisions and the union's issuance of clearance slips did not extend the geographic scope of the bargaining unit.
As there were no employees at work in the bargaining unit on the application date, the applications were dismissed.
