BEFORE: Stephen Raymond, Vice-Chair, and Board Members J. A. Rundle and H. Peacock
DECISION OF THE BOARD; August 10, 2001
1The style of cause is hereby amended to reflect the correct name of the responding party: "1339175 Ontario Inc. o/a Muskoka Central Ambulance Communication Centre, 299340 Ontario Ltd. o/a Muskoka Ambulance Service".
2No statement of desire to make representations has been filed with the Board within the time fixed under Rule 62 of the Board's Rules of Procedure following the taking of the representation vote pursuant to the Board's direction of July 20, 2001.
3On the taking of the representation vote directed by the Board, not more than fifty per cent of the ballots cast by employees in the bargaining unit were cast in favour of the applicant.
4The application is therefore dismissed. The employer will continue to be represented by the intervenor.
5The Board directs the parties’ and the employees’ attention to section 10(3) 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.
6The Registrar will destroy the ballots cast in the representation vote taken in this matter following the expiration of 30 days from the date of this decision unless a statement requesting that the ballots should not be destroyed is received by the Board from one of the parties before the expiration of such 30 day period.
7Meeting and hearing dates set previously are hereby cancelled.
8The responding party is directed to post copies of this decision immediately, adjacent to all copies of the "Notice of Vote and of Hearing" posted previously. These copies must remain posted until the date that had been set for the hearing.
“Stephen Raymond”
for the Board
