1221-00-U Paul Bolt, Applicant v. Maksteele Workers Association Committee and Maksteele Inc., Responding Party.
BEFORE: Timothy W. Sargeant, Vice-Chair, and Board Members J A. Rundle and H. Peacock.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; September 6, 2000
This is an application alleging a violation of section 74 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995 (the “Act”).
The responding party takes the position it is not a trade union within the meaning of the Act and therefore not subject to section 74.
By decision dated August 15, 2000 the applicant was directed to provide submissions to the Board and to the responding party concerning the responding party’s claim that it is not a trade union and therefore not subject to the duty of fair representation.
Such submissions were to be filed by August 22, 2000. An extension was granted to file such submissions by August 31, 2000.
No submissions were filed by August 31, 2000.
Having considered the pleadings filed, the Board finds there is no submission that establishes, even on a prima facie basis, that the responding party is a trade union. In the circumstances this application is dismissed.
“Timothy W. Sargeant”
