BEFORE: Christopher J. Albertyn, Vice‑Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; July 31, 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 268 (“the SEIU”), pursuant to agreements (“the Agreement”) concluded between them.
Previous decisions were issued by the Board on July 5, 2001, July 9, 2001 and July 13, 2001.
Pursuant to the Board’s direction a representation vote was taken on July 19, 2001.
No representations were filed with the Board within the time fixed following the taking of the representation vote.
On the taking of the representation vote directed by the Board, more than fifty per cent of the ballots cast by employees in the bargaining unit were cast in favour of the
CAW-Canada.
- Having regard to the material before it, particularly the Agreement and the provisions of section 68(2) of the Act, pursuant to section 68 of the Act, the Board hereby declares that the CAW-Canada has acquired the collective bargaining rights, privileges and duties of its predecessor, the SEIU, by transfer of jurisdiction in respect of the employees in the following bargaining unit:
all Support Service Worker employees of the Corporation of the City of Thunder Bay in the City of Thunder Bay, employed in the Homes for the Aged Division, save and except Supervisors and persons above the rank of Supervisor.
The SEIU is no longer the bargaining agent for that bargaining unit.
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. The posting is to last for a period of 30 days.
“Christopher J. Albertyn”
