Ontario Nurses’ Association v. University Health Network [General, Western and Princess Margaret Site]
File No.: 1185-00-U Date: August 28, 2000
Before: Brian McLean, Vice-Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD
1This is an application under section 96 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995 (“the Act”) in which it is alleged that the responding party violated a number of provisions of the Act.
2The responding party has requested that the Board dismiss the application without a hearing because, in its view, it does not disclose a breach of the Act even if all of the allegations contained in the application are found to be true. The responding party also asserts that this matter can and should be dealt with by an arbitrator.
3The Board is of the view that it is appropriate to determine the responding party’s objection prior to hearing. Accordingly, the applicant is directed to file a response to the responding party’s request that the application be dismissed without a hearing. The applicant’s submissions should deal with both grounds advanced by the responding party in its response. Submissions must be filed with the Board and delivered to the responding party by September 15, 2000.
