National Automobile, Aerospace, Transportation and General Workers Union of Canada (CAW-Canada) v. Corporation of the City of Thunder Bay Homes for the Aged
Before: Laura Trachuk, Vice-Chair, and Board Members J. A. Rundle and R. R. Montague.
Decision of the Board: May 4, 2001
1The Board has received submissions from the applicant pursuant to its decision of May 1, 2001. It appears that there is no dispute between the parties with respect to the facts relevant to the intervenor’s contention that the application is untimely. It is undisputed that the interest board of arbitration continues to be seized of certain contractual matters in dispute between the intervenor and the responding party. However, it is also undisputed that the intervenor and the responding party have agreed to a three year term for their collective agreement and that that agreement was included in the board of arbitration’s November decision. There is a dispute between the parties as to how the provisions of the Hospital Labour Disputes Arbitration Act apply to this situation.
2In the circumstances of this case the Board considers it appropriate to set the application down for hearing prior to holding a vote. The parties are hereby advised that a hearing will held with respect to this application on May 15, 2001 commencing at 9:30 a.m. in the "Board Room", 2nd Floor, 505 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario.
3This responding party is directed to post copies of this decision in places where they are likely to come to the attention of affected employees. Copies of the decision must remain posted for 30 days.
“Laura Trachuk”
for the Board
