BEFORE: Caroline Rowan, Vice‑Chair, and Board Members J. A. Ronson and H. Peacock.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; April 24, 2001
1The style of cause is hereby amended to reflect the correct name of the responding party: "Norfolk Hospital Association".
2Pursuant to the Board's direction of April 4, 2001, a representation vote was taken on April 6, 2001.
3The Board has received representations dated April 10, 2001 from the applicant. Having considered these representations, we are satisfied that the applicant raised no allegations which, even if proved true, would change the result of the application.
4The Board also notes that the parties agreed on our about April 6, 2001 that a final certificate is to issue without the Board inquiring into any outstanding issues.
5For these reasons, the Board will issue a final decision in this matter without a hearing.
6Having regard to the agreement of the parties, the Board finds that:
all the employees of the Norfolk Hospital Association at Simcoe, Ontario save and except professional medical staff, graduate nursing staff, undergraduate nurse, graduate pharmacists, undergraduate pharmacists, inhalation therapists, inhalation therapist students, graduate dietitians, student dietitians, technical personnel, supervisors, persons above the rank of supervisor, office staff and security guards,
constitute a unit of employees of the responding party appropriate for collective bargaining.
7On 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.
8A certificate will issue to the applicant.
9The 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.
10Meeting and hearing dates set previously are hereby cancelled.
11The 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.
“Caroline Rowan”
for the Board
