Universal Workers Union, Labourers’ International Union of North America Local 183 v. Bradford Sod Ltd.
Universal Workers Union, Labourers’ International Union of North America Local 183, Applicant v. Bradford Sod Ltd., Responding Party.
BEFORE: David A. McKee, Vice-Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; September 10, 2001
1This is an application for certification brought pursuant to the construction industry provisions of the Labour Relations Act, 1995, S. O. 1995 ch.1 (the "Act"). The responding party has not filed a response to the application, nor has it filed its submission following the taking of a representation vote as required by the Board’s rules.
2The applicant filed a letter with the Board dated August 23, 2001. At the very least, the allegations with respect to the fact that the Notice to Employees was not posted, and to the conduct of representatives of the responding party on the date of the vote would, if true, cause the Board to hold another representation vote. Whether the applicant is entitled to any of the other relief sought is a matter to be considered.
3The Board directs the responding party to respond to the allegations made in the letter of the applicant dated August 23, 2001. That response must be received by the applicant trade union and by the Board no later than Monday, September 17, 2001 by 5:00 p.m. If the responding party does not respond as directed, the Board will deem all of the allegations contained in the letter to be true and accepted as true by the responding party. The Board will then make its decision based on those facts.
4I am seized of this application.
“David A. McKee”
for the Board
