2233-00-R Industrial, Wood & Allied Workers of Canada (I.W.A. Canada), Applicant v. Sodexho Marriott Services Canada Ltd., Responding Party.
BEFORE: Caroline Rowan, Vice‑Chair, and Board Members J. A. Ronson and R. R. Montague.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; December 4, 2000
Pursuant to the Board's direction of November 2, 2000, a representation vote was taken on November 6, 2000.
The Board has received representations dated December 1, 2000 from both counsel for the responding party and counsel for the applicant indicating that the bargaining unit description is now agreed and confirming that there are no other outstanding issues in dispute.
For these reasons, the Board will issue a final decision in this matter without a hearing.
Having regard to the agreement of the parties, the Board finds that:
all employees of Sodexho Marriott Services Canada Ltd. employed at the Hamilton General Hospital in the City of Hamilton, save and except supervisors, persons above the rank of supervisor and office staff,
constitute a unit of employees of the responding party appropriate for collective bargaining.
On the taking of the representation vote directed by the Board, more than fifty per cent of the ballots cast by employees in the bargaining unit were cast in favour of the applicant.
A certificate will issue to the applicant.
The Registrar will destroy the ballots cast in the representation vote taken in this matter following the expiration of 30 days from the date of this decision unless a statement requesting that the ballots should not be destroyed is received by the Board from one of the parties before the expiration of such 30 day period.
Meeting and hearing dates set previously are hereby cancelled.
The responding party is directed to post copies of this decision immediately, adjacent to all copies of the "Notice of Vote and of Hearing" posted previously. These copies must remain posted until the date that had been set for the hearing.
“Caroline Rowan”
for the Board
