BEFORE: Laura Trachuk, Vice‑Chair, and Board Members J. A. Ronson and H. Peacock
DECISION OF THE BOARD; October 15, 2001
1. A representation vote was held with respect to this matter on May 31, 2001 pursuant to the Board’s decision of May 29, 2001.
2. 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.
3. The application is therefore dismissed.
4 The Board directs the parties’ and the employees’ attention to section 10(3) of the Act. 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.
5 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.
6 The hearing dates set previously are hereby cancelled.
7 The responding party is directed to post copies of this decision immediately in places where they are likely to come to the attention of the affected employees. These copies are to remain posted for 30 days.
