DECISION OF THE BOARD; October 31, 2001
Decision
1These are applications for certification.
2The application in Board File No. 2071-01-R was filed on October 25, 2001. Before the Board directed a representation vote in that file, Service Employees International Union, Local 183, filed an application in Board File No. 2119-01-R pertaining to the same proposed bargaining unit at the same employer. Under section 111(3) of the Labour Relations Act, 1995, the Board has discretion to treat the application in Board File No. 2119-01-R as if it were made on the same day as the application date in Board File No. 2071-01-R. In the circumstances of this case, where the second application was received before a vote was directed with respect to the first application, the Board considers it appropriate to treat the applications as if they were made on the same day.
3The employer has until Friday, November 2, 2001 at 5:00 p.m. to file a response in the application in Board File No. 2119-01-R. It appears that the CAW-Canada has been given a copy of the application. If it wishes to intervene, it has until Friday, November 2, 2001 at 5:00 p.m. to file an intervention.
