Ontario Labour Relations Board
File No.: 3254-99-R Parties: Carpenters and Allied Workers Local 27, United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, Applicant v. Conquest Carpet Corp., Responding Party.
BEFORE: Harry Freedman, Vice‑Chair, and Board Members G. Pickell and A. Haward.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; February 25, 2000
1Counsel for the responding party filed allegations relating to the conduct of the applicant during and prior to the representation vote. Counsel for the applicant has not filed any submissions. In view of the results of the representation vote, there does not appear to be any purpose in dealing further with those allegations.
2On the taking of the representation vote directed by the Board, not more than fifty per cent of the ballots cast by employees in the bargaining unit were cast in favour of the applicant.
3The application is therefore dismissed.
4The Board will not consider another application for certification by the applicant, the designated employee bargaining agency of which the applicant is an affiliated bargaining agent, or the affiliated bargaining agents, as the bargaining agent of the employees in the bargaining unit until one year elapses from the date of this decision.
5The Registrar will destroy the ballots cast in the representation vote taken in this matter following the expiration of 30 days from the date of this decision unless a statement requesting that the ballots should not be destroyed is received by the Board from one of the parties before the expiration of such 30 day period.
6The responding party is directed to post copies of this decision immediately, adjacent to the "Notice of Vote and of Meeting" posted previously. These copies must remain posted for a period of 30 days.
“Harry Freedman”
for the Board
