Canadian Union of Public Employees v. Iron Range Bus Lines Inc.
File No.: 0860-00-R Applicant: Canadian Union of Public Employees Responding Party: Iron Range Bus Lines Inc. Intervenor: Professional School Bus Association
Before: Caroline Rowan, Vice-Chair, and Board Members J. A. Rundle and R. R. Montague.
Decision of the Board: July 12, 2000
Decision
1The Board has received representations dated June 28, 2000 from the intervenor. Having considered these representations, we are satisfied that the intervenor raised no allegations which, even if proved true, would change the result of the application.
2On the taking of the representation vote directed by the Board, not more than fifty per cent of the ballots cast by employees in the bargaining unit were cast in favour of the applicant.
3The application is therefore dismissed.
4The Board will not consider another application for certification by the applicant as the bargaining agent of the employees in the bargaining unit until one year elapses from the date of this decision.
5The 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.
6Meeting and hearing dates set previously are hereby cancelled.
7The 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
