The union filed an application alleging the employer violated section 41.1 of the Labour Relations Act by refusing to negotiate an adjustment plan following the announcement of a major workforce reduction.
During the proceedings, the parties engaged in collective bargaining and reached a new collective agreement that addressed the rights of surplus employees.
The employer argued the application was moot.
The Board agreed, finding that the parties had practically resolved the issues by negotiating adjustment plan matters during collective bargaining.
The Board dismissed the application on the grounds of mootness and declined to grant remedial relief, noting it would serve no labour relations purpose.
