BEFORE: Gail Misra, Vice-Chair, and Board Members J. A. Rundle and R. R. Montague.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; October 20, 2000
No statement of desire to make representations has been filed with the Board within the time fixed under Rule 62 of the Board's Rules of Procedure following the taking of the representation vote pursuant to the Board's direction of September 5, 2000.
Having regard to the agreement of the parties, the Board further finds that:
all employees of Timiskaming Child and Family Services in the District of Timiskaming, save and except supervisors, managers, persons above the rank of supervisors and managers, the Executive Secretary, the Management Secretary, and students employed during the school vacation periods or Youth in Care employed under Provincial Grants on a part-time basis during the school year,
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 Ontario Public Service Employees’ Union, Local 665. Pursuant to section 69(6)(c) the Board therefore declares that the Ontario Public Service Employees’ Union Local 665 is the bargaining agent for the employees in the unit described in paragraph 3 above. A certificate will issue to this bargaining agent in accordance with section 69(6)(d) of the Act.
The Board further declares, in accordance with section 69(6)(a) of the Act, that the applicant is no longer bound to a collective agreement with the United Steelworkers of America, Local 6409 as of the date of this decision.
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.
The responding party is directed to post copies of this decision immediately, adjacent to all copies of the Board’s notices and decisions posted previously. These copies must remain posted for 30 days.
