Ontario Labour Relations Board
1148-00-U Frieda (Kathy) Forbes, Applicant v. CAW/TCA Canada, Responding Party.
BEFORE: Brian McLean, Vice-Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; August 9, 2000
Decision
1This is an application under section 96 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995 (“the Act”) which alleges a violation of section 74 of the Act.
2The employer asserts that the Ontario Labour Relations Board does not have jurisdiction to hear this application because its labour relations are governed by federal law. It asserts that the complaint should be made to the Canada Labour Relations Board.
3The applicant shall have two (2) weeks to file submissions with the Board (and serve on the other parties) with respect to the jurisdictional issue raised by the employer. The applicant’s submissions must explain why the applicant believes her employment falls under provincial jurisdiction.
4If no submissions are received, the application will be dismissed without further notice to the applicant. If submissions are received, the Board will determine whether the application can proceed.
