Court File and Parties
0971-01-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. London Health Sciences Centre, Responding Party Employer.
BEFORE: Christopher J. Albertyn, Vice‑Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; July 11, 2001
Decision
1This 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.
2Two decisions have been issued by the Board: on July 4 and July 6. Those decisions were made on the assumption of their receipt by the responding parties and the affected employees. It appears that the responding employer (‘the employer’) did not receive those decisions, nor other documents issued by the Board. As a consequence the employer and the affected employees have not had a proper opportunity to respond to the Board’s decisions.
3Accordingly, the employer is directed to now post the Board’s decision of July 4. The date and time referred to in paragraph 4 thereof is amended to July 12, 2001 at 5:00 p.m. This means that any objection to the abridgement of the response time is extended until then.
4Assuming there is no objection to the abridgement, a further decision will be issued confirming the abridgement, and responses will required by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 17, 2001.
5A copy of this decision is to be posted forthwith by the responding 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”
