0781-00-PS Canadian Union of Public Employees and its Local 1306.3, Applicant v. The Corporation of the Township of Smith-Ennismore-Lakefield, Responding Party.
BEFORE: Bram Herlich, Vice-Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; November 14, 2000
[1]. In a decision dated September 20, 2000 the Board (differently constituted) directed the taking of a representation vote.
[2]. Paragraph 3 of that decision reads as follows:
The parties acknowledge that the result of the vote cannot take effect until January 1, 2001. It is not apparent what legal effect can be given to the results of the vote either before or after the changeover date, but the Board is willing to conduct the vote on the agreement and at the request of the parties.
[3]. That vote has been held and more than 50% of those who cast ballots voted against the applicant trade union.
[4]. In their joint submissions which resulted in the directing of the representation vote, the parties indicated that they were in agreement that they would address the legal effect to be given to the vote, when required.
[5]. The Board looks forward to hearing their views. In the absence of any further submissions from the parties within three weeks of the date of this decision, this matter will be deemed to have been terminated.
