BEFORE: Caroline Rowan, Vice‑Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; May 16, 2001
1Pursuant to the Board's direction of April 25, 2001, a representation vote was taken on April 27, 2001.
2The Board has received representations dated April 30, 2001 from the intervenor indicating its intention not to pursue any complaint arising from the vote and its position that a final certificate be issued to the applicant without the Board inquiring into any outstanding issues. The Board has also received representations dated May 1, 2001 from the applicant indicating its intention not to pursue any complaint arising from the vote and requesting that the Board issue a final certificate in this matter.
3As it appears that there are no outstanding issues requiring the Board’s determination, the Board will issue a final decision in this matter without a hearing.
4Having regard to the agreement of the parties, the Board finds that:
all employees of Brad-Lea Meadows Limited c.o.b. Best Western Wheels Inn Resort and Conference Centre employed at its hotel at Chatham in the municipality of Chatham-Kent, Ontario save and except supervisors, persons above the rank of supervisor and executive secretary,
constitute a unit of employees of the responding party appropriate for collective bargaining.
5On the taking of the representation vote directed by the Board, more than fifty per cent of the ballots cast by employees in the bargaining unit were cast in favour of the applicant.
6A certificate will issue to the applicant.
7The 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.
8Meeting and hearing dates set previously are hereby cancelled.
9The 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.
