DECISION OF THE BOARD
There do not appear to be any remaining issues in dispute in this displacement application for certification.
Having regard to the agreement of the parties, the Board further finds that:
all employees of St. Joseph’s Care Group at the Smith Alcohol and Drug Dependency Clinic in Thunder Bay, save and except Program Managers, persons above the rank of Program Manager, members of the Congregation of Sisters of St. Joseph of Sault St. Marie and employees in bargaining units for which any trade union held bargaining rights as of March 31, 1993,
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.
