Decision of the Board
1This is an application for certification in which the Board, differently constituted, by decision dated February 16, 2001 directed a representation vote. That vote was held on February 20, 2001 and the ballot box was sealed.
2The applicant, by letter dated May 7, 2001 seeks leave of the Board to withdraw this application. Having regard to the request of the applicant and to section 7(8) of the Labour Relations Act, 1995, S. O. 1995, c. 1, as amended (the “Act”), the Board hereby permits the applicant to withdraw this application.
3As this application is being withdrawn by the applicant after the representation vote was taken, the Board directs the parties’ and the employees’ attention to section 7(10) of the Act, as amended by the Labour Relations Amendment Act, 2000, S.O. 2000, c. 38 (Bill 139). Should an application for certification be filed within one year of the date of this decision, the effect, if any, of this decision and Bill 139 on that subsequent application may be determined, if necessary, at that time.
