Bricklayers, Masons Independent Union of Canada Local 1, Applicant v. Nu-Tech Concrete Forming Ltd., Responding Party v. Carpenters’ District Council of Ontario Limited Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America; Labourers’ International Union of North America, Ontario Provincial District Council; Universal Workers’ Union. Labourers’ International Union of North America, Local 183; Masonry Contractors Association of Toronto Incorporated, Intervenors.
BEFORE: David A. McKee, Vice-Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; November 2, 2001
Reasons for Decision
The applicant has requested the Board to permit it to withdraw the application. Section 7(8) of the Labour Relations Act, 1995, S.O. 1995 c.l, as amended (the “Act”) gives the Board a discretion to permit an applicant to withdraw an application on such terms as the Board may determine. At one time, the Board’s practice was to dismiss an application if the request was made after a vote had been taken. Given the identical effect of sections 7(10) and 10(3), there would seem to be little reason to maintain that distinction. Accordingly the Board gives leave to the applicant to withdraw this application.
