Ontario Labour Relations Board

File No.: 3246-00-U Parties: John Florek, Applicant v. United Steelworkers of America, Responding Party. Before: Mary Anne McKellar, Vice-Chair. Decision of the Board: August 15, 2001

Decision

[1]. This is an application filed pursuant to the Labour Relations Act, 1995 (“the Act”), alleging that the responding party has violated section 74 of the Act in connection with its handling of the applicant’s grievance #2005.

[2]. By decisions dated May 28, 2001 and July 12, 2001, the Board sought to have the applicant’s employer, Storeimage Programs Inc., respond to the parties’ request that the Board refer grievance #2005 to arbitration.

[3]. The employer did not respond within the timeframes specified in the Board’s decisions, and it appears that those decisions were sent to the incorrect mailing address. The Board has since obtained a new mailing address for the employer.

[4]. Copies of the Board’s decisions of May 28, 2001 and July 12, 2001 are attached to this decision. They continue to be directions of the Board. The time for reply set out in those decisions is hereby amended such that the employer shall have three weeks to reply from the date of the instant decision.

[5]. Should any submissions be made by the employer, the applicant and the responding party shall have three weeks from the receipt of same to make any further submissions to the Board.

[6]. The Board will review this matter again once all of the submissions have been filed or the time for doing so has passed.

“Mary Anne McKellar”
