Labourers’ International Union of North America, Local 1059 v. Eton Construction (Canada) Inc.
0800-00-G Labourers’ International Union of North America, Local 1059, Applicant v. Eton Construction (Canada) Inc., Responding Party.
BEFORE: Gail Misra, Vice-Chair, and Board Members J. G. Knight and G. McMenemy.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; August 4, 2000
1This is an application filed pursuant to section 133 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995 (the “Act”).
2By a letter dated August 4, 2000, the applicant has requested that the Board order pre-hearing production of itemized documents.
3The Board declines to make the order requested. There is no legislated requirement for an employer to provide a union with pre-hearing production in section 133 grievances. As in any grievance arbitration context, it is open to the union to issue a summons to the responding party for the documents it believes it will need at the hearing.
4Accordingly, no order will be made at this time.
“Gail Misra”
for the Board
