3689-00-R Christian Labour Association of Canada, Applicant v. Woods Park Care Centre, Responding Party v. United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, Local 175; Service Employees International Union, Local 204, Intervenors.
BEFORE: Anthony Brown, Vice-Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; September 19, 2001
By decision dated June 14, 2001, the Board adjourned this application sine die for a period not exceeding one year, provided that within that time, a party could request to have the matter proceed.
Service Employees International Union, Local 204, by letter dated September 4, 2001 seeks that the application be dismissed or rescheduled as soon as possible. By letter dated September 13, 2001, the applicant submits that the matter should remain adjourned so that the applicant can gather more information. By letter dated September 14, 2001, SEIU Local 204 submits that the applicant has not offered a reply to Local 204’s contention that the application is untimely and requests that the application be dismissed. By letter dated September 17, 2001, the responding party employer takes no position on Local 204’s request.
The Board’s decision of June 14, 2001 clearly permits SEIU Local 204 to request that the matter be rescheduled. The issue of timeliness remains alive. This application was filed on March 15, 2001. It is time for it to be resolved. Accordingly, the Registrar is directed to reschedule the matter for a hearing, as soon as reasonably possible.
“Anthony Brown”
for the Board
