Ontario Labour Relations Board
1512-01-R United Steelworkers of America, Applicant v. ABC Group Holdings Ltd., Responding Party.
BEFORE: Anthony Brown, Vice-Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; October 4, 2001
Decision
1No statement of desire to make representations has been filed with the Board within the time fixed under Rule 62 of the Board's Rules of Procedure following the taking of the representation vote pursuant to the Board's direction of August 29, 2001.
2On the taking of the representation vote directed by the Board, not more than fifty per cent of the ballots cast by employees in the bargaining unit were cast in favour of the applicant.
3The application is therefore dismissed.
4The Board directs the parties’ and the employees’ attention to section 10(3) of the Labour Relations Act, 1995. Should an application for certification be filed within one year of the date of this decision, the effect, if any, of this decision and section 10(3) of the Act on that subsequent application may be determined, if necessary, at that time.
5The Registrar will destroy the ballots cast in the representation vote taken in this matter following the expiration of 30 days from the date of this decision unless a statement requesting that the ballots should not be destroyed is received by the Board from one of the parties before the expiration of such 30-day period.
6Meeting and hearing dates set previously are hereby cancelled.
7The responding party is directed to post copies of this decision immediately, adjacent to all copies of the "Notice of Vote and of Hearing" posted previously. These copies must remain posted until the date that had been set for the hearing.
“Anthony Brown”
