Ontario Labour Relations Board
2459-01-R International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Construction Council of Ontario, Applicant v. Granite Electrical Ltd., Responding Party.
BEFORE: Harry Freedman, Vice-Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; December 24, 2001
1No representations were 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 December 6, 2001. The Chair of the Board authorized me to sit alone to hear and determine this matter pursuant to section 110(14)(a) of the Act.
2On the taking of the representation vote directed by the Board, not more than fifty per cent of the ballots cast by employees in the bargaining unit were cast in favour of the applicant.
3The application is therefore dismissed.
4The Board directs the parties’ and the employees’ attention to section 10(3) of the Act. Should an application for certification be filed within one year of the date of this decision, the effect, if any, of this decision and section 10(3) of the Act on that subsequent application may be determined, if necessary, at that time.
5The 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.
6The responding party is directed to post copies of this decision immediately, adjacent to the "Notice of Vote and of Meeting" posted previously. These copies must remain posted for a period of 30 days.
“Harry Freedman”
for the Board
