Ontario Labour Relations Board
3237-99-R Universal Workers Union, L.I.U.N.A. Local 183, Applicant v. Trexcon Construction (1997) Limited, Responding Party.
BEFORE: David A. McKee, Vice-Chair, and Board Members G. Pickell and A. Haward.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; April 28, 2000
1This is an application for certification brought pursuant to the construction industry provisions of the Labour Relations Act, 1995, S.O. 1995 ch. 1 (the “Act”). A number of issues have been raised in the post-vote process. Some of them, such as the status of the applicant, have been resolved in other proceedings. There are other issues that have been raised, some of which the applicant asserts other parties have no standing to raise, or which the Board ought not to permit them to raise.
2Before the Board can deal with any of those issues, it must determine who is to address the Board on them. Accordingly, the Registrar is directed to set two days of hearing to deal with the issue of the status of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America (the “Carpenters’ Union”) to intervene in this application. Obviously, that hearing will require an examination of the collective agreement asserted to be a bar to this application. The Carpenters’ Union is directed, no later than fifteen days prior to the first date set for hearing in this application, to deliver to the other parties and the Board a copy of the collective agreement upon which it relies, the pleadings (and any correspondence intended to modify those pleadings) in Board Files 0959-99-R, 0963‑99‑G, 1101-99-G and 1446-99-G, and any other document on which it intends to rely in asserting status to intervene.
3I am not seized of this application.
“David A. McKee”
for the Board
