1694-01-U Eugene Svarovsky, Applicant v. Power Worker’s Union CUPE Local 1000 -CLC, Responding Party v. Hydro One Inc., Intervenor.

2306-01-U James Leslie Silverthorn, Applicant v. Power Workers’ Union CUPE Local 1000 – CLC, Responding Party.

BEFORE: Christopher J. Albertyn, Vice-Chair.

DECISION OF THE BOARD; November 23, 2001

[1]. These are applications under section 96 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995, S.O. 1995, c.1, as amended (“the Act”) in which the applicants claim that the responding trade union (“the union”) has violated section 74 of the Act.

[2]. Board Files 1692-01-U and 1694-01-U are already scheduled to be dealt with together. The union asks that Board File 2306-01-U be joined with them, and heard together. The request makes sense because all three files concern claims by employees who are on pension and who claim they have been discriminated against by an agreement concluded between the union and the former employer of the claimants, Hydro One.

[3]. The Registrar is directed to have these matters heard together.
