Ontario Labour Relations Board
3974-99-R National Automobile, Aerospace, Transportation and General Workers’ Union of Canada (CAW-Canada), Applicant v. Sexual Assault Crisis Centre (Kingston) Inc., Responding Party v. Service Employees International Union, Local 663, Intervenor.
BEFORE: Laura Trachuk, Vice-Chair, and Board Members J. A. Rundle and D. A. Patterson.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; April 5, 2000
This is a displacement application for certification which was filed with the Board on March 31, 2000. However, the responding party and the intervenor have advised the Board that they concluded a collective agreement with an effective date of October 30, 1999 to March 31, 2001, which was ratified by both parties as of February, 2000. They submit therefore that this application is untimely.
If there is a collective agreement between the responding party and intervenor this application would appear to be untimely. In the circumstances the Board considers it appropriate to direct the applicant to file submissions providing reasons why, if any, this application is timely in view of the position of the other parties that a collective agreement is in effect. The submissions should be filed with the Board and provided to the other parties on or before 5:00 p.m. Friday, April 7, 2000. The Board will decide after reviewing the submissions whether to order a representation vote or to dismiss the application.
