2216-01-R S. Brush, Seagram’s Guards, Seagram Co. Ltd., Applicant v. United Food & Commercial Workers Union, Responding Party v. The Seagram Company Limited, Intervenor.
BEFORE: Anthony Brown, Vice-Chair, and Board Members J. A. Ronson and H. Peacock.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; November 14, 2001
This is an application for termination under section 63 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.
The application cannot be processed for the following reasons. First, the signatures of the employees who state that they no longer wish to be represented by the responding party appear to be photocopies, not originals. Secondly, there is no indication that the application has been properly delivered to the responding party. The application must be delivered to the responding party and this must occur before the application is filed with the Board. Thirdly, the employees appear to have already taken their own vote and have therefore neglected to state when the Board-ordered vote should take place. In all, it appears that the applicants have not familiarized themselves with the procedures for filing and delivering an application.
The application is hereby terminated. The employees may deliver and file a new timely application in accordance with the Labour Relations Act, 1995 and the Board’s Rules of Procedure.
“Anthony Brown”
for the Board
