In a certification application involving multiple unions at a remote mining project, the Ontario Labour Relations Board extended the terminal date because the isolated location and employee work schedules prevented adequate notice.
The Board declined to impose new access rules for union organizers, maintaining the existing arrangements.
Additionally, the Board dismissed allegations that the employer violated section 13 of the Labour Relations Act by informing one union of a rival union's presence, finding such communication practical and not indicative of improper support.
