Ontario Labour Relations Board
1205-01-R National Automobile, Aerospace, Transportation and General Workers Union of Canada (CAW-Canada), Applicant v. Service Employees International Union Local 220, Responding Party Trade Union v. Diversicare VI Limited Partnership Inc. c.o.b. Chelsey Part Retirement Community – Apartment Complex/Retirement Home, Responding Party Employer.
BEFORE: Christopher J. Albertyn, Vice‑Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; July 27, 2001
This is an application under section 68 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995 (“the Act”) for a declaration that the applicant (“CAW-Canada”) has acquired the rights, privileges and duties of a predecessor trade union, the Service Employees International Union, Local 220 (“the SEIU”), pursuant to agreements (“the Agreement”) concluded between them.
A previous decision was issued by the Board on July 25, 2001. There has been no objection from any interested party or person following that decision. Accordingly, the time for the filing of responses and interventions is hereby abridged until 5:00 p.m. on July 31, 2001.
By the response date the employer is directed to provide the Registrar, the CAW‑Canada and the SEIU with the names and positions of all employees in the bargaining unit. “Employees in the bargaining unit” are those individuals who had an employment relationship with the employer in the bargaining unit on the application date. It includes those who were not at work on that date, so long as there is a reasonable expectation of their return to employment.
The SEIU and the employer have already responded to the application and provided proposals or suggestions regarding arrangements for the representation vote which is likely to be ordered by the Board after the response date.
A copy of this decision is to be posted forthwith by the responding party employer in prominent places in the workplace where it is likely to come to the attention of employees in the bargaining unit.
“Christopher J. Albertyn”
for the Board
