The applicant employer sought relief under section 92 of the Labour Relations Act, alleging that the respondent union and several of its officials and members engaged in, authorized, or encouraged an unlawful strike by instituting a ban on overtime work.
The Board found that the concerted withholding of overtime constituted a strike within the meaning of the Act, and because it occurred during the operation of a collective agreement, it was unlawful.
The Board issued declarations and cease and desist directions against the union, certain officials, and certain employees, but dismissed the application against the International union, the Canadian Labour Congress, and individuals for whom there was insufficient evidence of participation.
