BEFORE: David A. McKee, Vice‑Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; October 16, 2001
These matters came on for hearing on October 16, 2001. At that time, the parties agreed to have the Board determine the application for certification in Board File 3888-00-R on the basis of the materials in the Board’s file. All other issues, including a request for reconsideration and two related applications in Board Files 0170-01-U and 0180-01-R were withdrawn.
On 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.
The application for certification is therefore dismissed.
The Board directs the parties’ and the employees’ attention to section 10(3) of the Labour Relations Act, 1995. Should an application for certification be filed within one year of the date of this decision, the effect, if any, of this decision and section 10(3) of the Act on that subsequent application may be determined, if necessary, at that time.
The 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.
Meeting and hearing dates set previously are hereby cancelled.
The 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.
“David A. McKee”
for the Board
