Gregory Merchant Lang v. University of Toronto and United Steel Workers of America
3343-99-M Gregory Merchant Lang, Applicant v. University of Toronto and United Steel Workers of America, Responding Parties.
BEFORE: Bram Herlich, Vice-Chair, and Board Members J. A. Ronson and D. A. Patterson.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; March 2, 2000
This is an application under section 114(2) of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.
It appears that the applicant is a bargaining unit employee. Accordingly, both the employer and the trade union have asserted in their responses, that the applicant is not entitled to bring the instant application. There is clear and consistent Board authority in support of that position. The Board’s decisions in The Board of Education for the City of North York, [1995] OLRD No. 2419 and Central Park Lodges of Canada, [1980] OLRB Rep. Oct. 1373 have been relied upon and reproduced in the responses filed and delivered to the applicant.
Before the Board determines whether to dismiss the application on this basis, the applicant will be provided with an opportunity to make whatever written submissions he may like in relation to this issue.
Such submissions are to be filed with the Board and delivered to the other parties not later than March 27, 2000.
The Board will review the matter again once those submissions have been filed or the time for doing so has passed.
“Bram Herlich”
for the Board
