The applicant school board brought an application against the responding unions and individuals.

The application against the Canadian Union of Public Employees and its Local 5678 was adjourned sine die for a period not exceeding one year.

The applicant filed an application for review under the Employment Standards Act.

The Registrar advised the applicant to resubmit the application on the correct form within ten working days, warning that failure to do so could result in termination.

The applicant trade union applied for certification to represent a bargaining unit of paramedics and emergency medical dispatchers employed by the City of Toronto.

This was a partial displacement application seeking to carve out portions of three existing bargaining units represented by two incumbent unions.

The employer and incumbent unions argued the proposed unit was inappropriate and filed notice under section 8.1 of the Labour Relations Act.

The Board declined to follow its conventional practice of holding a representation vote and sealing the ballot box, noting that voting the existing 17,000-employee units would be a huge undertaking and highly disruptive.

Instead, the Board directed the applicant to prove its trade union status and referred the matter to the Registrar to schedule a hearing to determine the appropriate bargaining unit before any vote is held.

The employer applied for a review of an Order to Pay under section 68 of the Employment Standards Act.

The employer and the employee entered into Minutes of Settlement agreeing to disburse the funds held in trust.

The Board ordered the funds disbursed in accordance with the settlement and terminated the application.

The applicant requested to withdraw its applications.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board granted the request and the applications were withdrawn with leave of the Board.

The applicant union filed an application for certification under the construction industry provisions of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.

The responding party objected, arguing the application was an abuse of process because it was filed six days after a previous application was withdrawn, and requested a hearing.

The Board found that the applicant had the requisite 40% membership support in the proposed bargaining unit and ordered a representation vote to be held, noting that any remaining disputes could be addressed through representations filed after the vote.

The applicant union applied for certification.

A representation vote was held, but not more than fifty per cent of the ballots cast by employees in the bargaining unit were in favour of the applicant.

As no statement of desire to make representations was filed, the Ontario Labour Relations Board dismissed the application and noted the potential application of the one-year bar under section 10(3) of the Act for any subsequent applications.

In two related applications for certification, the UFCW and District 2-A requested directions regarding the service of documents and extensions of time to file submissions and interventions.

The Board directed all parties to serve each other with all materials filed.

The Board denied the UFCW's request for an extension of time to file written submissions, finding it would cause further delay.

However, the Board granted District 2-A's request for an extension to file its interventions, noting it had not received copies of previously filed correspondence.

The applicant employer sought a review of an Order to Pay under section 68 of the Employment Standards Act.

Neither the applicant nor the responding party employee appeared at the scheduled hearing.
