Ontario Labour Relations Board
2537-00-R Canadian Union of Public Employees, Applicant v. Brock Township Public Library Board, Responding Party.
BEFORE: Anthony Brown, Vice‑Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; April 17, 2001
1The style of cause is hereby amended to reflect the correct name of the responding party: “Brock Township Public Library Board”
2No 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 November 29, 2000.
3Having regard to the agreement of the parties, the Board further finds that:
all employees of the Brock Township Public Library Board, employed in the Township of Brock, save and except Supervisor, and persons above the rank of Supervisor,
constitute a unit of employees of the responding party appropriate for collective bargaining.
4On 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.
5A certificate will issue to the applicant.
6The 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.
7Meeting and hearing dates set previously are hereby cancelled.
8There remains a dispute about the inclusion of CAP Trainers in the bargaining unit. The parties will try to resolve this issue during collective bargaining. However, the applicant requests that the Board remain seized of the issue should bargaining not resolve the matter. The Board will not remain seized of the issue in the context of this certification application. If a dispute remains, the parties may refer it to arbitration or (where appropriate) apply under section 114(2) of the Act.
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 for seven days.
“Anthony Brown”
for the Board
