3284-99-R Masonry Council of Unions Toronto and Vicinity and Bricklayers, Masons Independent Union of Canada, Local 1 and Labourers’ International Union of North America, Local 183, Applicants v. Rulman Masonry Inc. and/or Con-Via Construction Inc. and/or Joral Construction Inc., Responding Parties.
BEFORE: Mary Ellen Cummings, Alternate Chair, and Board Members J. G. Knight and G. McMenemy.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; October 6, 2000
This is an application pursuant to sections 69 and 1(4) of the Labour Relations Act, 1995 (the “Act”). The responding parties have not filed responses, nor otherwise expressed an interest in the proceedings.
The Board was concerned that employees affected by this application had not received notice, and so sent notices to employees at their last known address, and directed them to advise the Board and the other parties if they wished to participate in the hearing. No such representations were received within the time limits set by the Board.
In the same decision, the Board invited the applicant to ask the Board to make a determination solely on the information it provided, and without need to proceed to an oral hearing. The applicant made such a request, and the Board has determined that it can make a decision based on the applicant's pleadings and documents. Consequently, the hearing scheduled for October 11, 2000 is cancelled.
The Board will issue a further decision shortly.
“Mary Ellen Cummings”
for the Board
