United Steelworkers of America v. The Sleep Factory and/or Majoli Furniture (1983) Limited
2636-00-R United Steelworkers of America, Applicant v. The Sleep Factory and/or Majoli Furniture (1983) Limited, Responding Party.
BEFORE: Caroline Rowan, Vice-Chair, and Board Members J. A. Ronson and H. Peacock.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; December 7, 2000
1By decision dated December 6, 2000, the Board directed that a representation vote be taken of certain employees of the responding party.
2In that decision, the Board noted that although the responding party had been duly served with the application material on December 1, 2000, the responding party failed to file a response within the time stipulated by Rule 69 of the Board’s Rules of Procedure.
3By letter dated December 6, 2000, the responding party has asked the Board to consider December 6, 2000 as the date the application was received for purposes of reply and voting, and more specifically, that the date for the vote be appropriately extended. The responding party filed a response in this matter on December 6, 2000.
4Having considered the submissions of the responding party, the Board declines “to extend” the date for the vote. According to the applicant and the responding party, the application was delivered to the responding party by facsimile transmission on December 1, 2000. The application and supporting documents were therefore delivered to the responding party on December 1, 2000 in accordance with the Board’s Rules. In the circumstances, the Board declines to vary its decision dated December 6, 2000 directing a vote in this matter. Any remaining issues may be raised with the Board at a hearing after the vote.
