3525-00-R International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craft Union of Canada, Local 2, now known as Brick and Allied Craft Union of Canada, Local 2, Applicant v. Braycon Masonry Ltd., Responding Party.
BEFORE: David A. McKee, Vice-Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; July 9, 2001
This is an application for certification brought pursuant to the construction industry provisions of the Labour Relations Act, 1995, S. O. 1995 ch.1 (the “Act”). One issue outstanding in this application is the name of the applicant. The application was in fact adjourned sine die on April 2, 2001 awaiting the outcome of certain other decisions of this Board.
The applicant requests that the name of the applicant be amended to read “International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftsmen, Local 2/ Brick and Allied Craft Union of Canada Local 2.” The Board declines to do so. The decisions which the applicant refers to establish certain things relevant to this application:
the Brick and Allied Craft Union of Canada (“BACU”) and its locals are trade unions within the meaning of section 1(1) and 126 of the Act;
the BACU is not the successor to nor is it one and the same as the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers.
The membership evidence in this application is all in the name of “Brick and Allied Craft Union of Canada, Local 2”. If anything, it would appear that the name of the applicant should be simply Brick and Allied Craft Union of Canada, Local 2. However, the parties may wish to make further submissions on this point.
The applicant has asked that this matter be relisted along with an application under section 96 of the Act filed July 5, 2001. This file is referred to the Manager of Field Services for processing along with the section 96 application.
I am not seized of this application.
“David A. McKee”
for the Board
