1368-95-U Ontario Public Service Employees Union, Applicant v. Ontario New Democratic Party Caucus, Responding Party.
BEFORE: R. O. MacDowell, Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; October 10, 2000
This is an unfair labour practice complaint that came before the Board in the summer of 1995. For the reasons more particularly set out in the Board’s decision of July 24, 1995, the Board “deferred” to the arbitration process, in accordance with the principles enunciated in Valdi Inc., [1980] OLRB Rep. Aug. 1254.
The Board’s endorsement reads, in part, as follows:
As the Board noted in Valdi, it will remain seized in the event that there is any unresolved statutory issue following the completion of that arbitration process (i.e. assuming that the applicant does file a grievance and does pursue the matter to arbitration).
There has been no activity in respect of this file for more than five years, nor any indication that there is any interest in pursuing any unresolved issues.
The proceeding is therefore terminated.
“R. O. MacDowell”
for the Board
