1896-01-R Teamsters International Union, Local 847, AFL-C10-CLC Applicant v. MSB Plastic, Responding Party.
BEFORE: Mary Anne McKellar , Vice-Chair, and Board Members J. A. Rundle and D. A. Patterson.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; October 25, 2001
This is an application for certification,
Paragraph 2 of the Board’s decision dated October 12, 2001 directing a representation vote in this matter reads as follows:
The applicant has not previously been found to be a trade union within the meaning of the Labour Relations Act, 1995 (the “Act”). The applicant is therefore directed to, not later than October 19, 2001 file with the Board and deliver to the other party copies of all material upon which it intends to rely to establish that it is a trade union within the meaning of the Act. If the responding party disputes the trade union status of the applicant, it is directed to so advise the applicant and the Board in writing by October 26, 2001. Any outstanding issue with respect to the trade union status of the applicant may be dealt with by the Board at a hearing after the vote, if necessary.
By letter dated October 17, 2001, the applicant advised that it had previously informed the Board that “Teamsters International Union Local 847, AFL–C10–ALC” was a name by which the “Laundry & Linen Drivers and Industrial Workers, Teamsters Local 847” is also known and that the Board had previously found the applicant to have trade union status in Board File No. 0031-01-R. The applicant requested that the Board “please correct application #1896-01-R to reflect this”.
Having regard to the applicant’s request and to the materials filed, the Board hereby reconsiders and varies its decision dated October 12, 2001, by substituting the following for Paragraph 2 of that decision:
The Board finds that the applicant is a trade union within the meaning of section 1(1) of the Labour Relations Act, 1995 (“the Act”).
“Mary Anne McKellar”
for the Board
