1606-01-R Christian Labour Association of Canada, Applicant v. York Central Hospital, Responding Party.
BEFORE: Patrick Kelly, Vice-Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; September 14, 2001
By decision dated September 12, 2001, the Board (differently constituted) directed a representation vote to take place on September 14, 2001, in respect of a voting constituency reflecting the broader of the two competing bargaining unit descriptions proposed by the applicant and the responding party (“the Hospital”), respectively. That is the Board’s normal practice.
Subsequently, the Hospital has withdrawn its proposed bargaining unit and agreed that the voting constituency should reflect the applicant’s originally proposed, and much smaller, bargaining unit. This essentially eliminates the need to conduct the representation vote on the much larger and more complex scale contemplated by the Board’s decision of September 12, 2001.
Accordingly, the Board directs that the representation vote be taken of the individuals in the following voting constituency:
all painters, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, maintenance mechanics and maintenance staff employed by York Central Hospital in the Municipality of York, save and except the building superintendent, persons above the rank of superintendent and employees covered by subsisting collective agreements.
In addition, as it appears there are no longer any positions in dispute with respect to inclusion or exclusion from the bargaining unit, it is unnecessary to segregate or seal ballots on the basis contemplated by paragraphs 9, 10, 11 and 12 of the Board’s decision of September 12, 2001.
Having regard to the agreement of the parties referred to in correspondence dated September 14, 2001 from counsel for the Hospital, the location of the poll in respect to the representation vote is hereby changed from “Mrs. C’s” to Room #5911 at York Central Hospital, 10 Trench Street, Richmond Hill, Ontario.
All other aspects of the Board’s decision of September 12, 2001 remain unchanged.
The Hospital is directed to make and post copies of this decision immediately, adjacent to the posted copies of the Board’s decision of September 12, 2001. These copies are to remain posted for a period of thirty days from the date of this decision.
“Patrick Kelly”
for the Board
