CONFERENCE CALL

November 9, 2011.

Decision

1I have had the opportunity to consider the submissions made during the conference call held on November 9, 2011, on the issue of the procedure to be followed in the Union’s interim relief application. The Union requests that it be permitted to rely on Mr. Hyland’s completed evidence-in-chief in support of its application, rather than a signed declaration of particulars required by the Board’s Interim Relief Rule. The Employer opposes this request.

2Although I appreciate the reasons for the Union’s request, I nonetheless find that the circumstances of this case do not warrant a departure from the requirements of the Board’s Interim Relief Rule.

3Accordingly, the Union’s motion is hereby dismissed.
