The applicant applied to terminate the bargaining rights of the responding party union.

Following a representation vote where more than fifty percent of the ballots were cast in opposition to the union, and with no statements of desire to make representations filed, the Ontario Labour Relations Board declared that the union no longer represents the employees of the intervenor employer.

The applicant union requested an urgent hearing, alleging that the responding employer refused to recognize the applicability of its collective agreement following a sale of business and a run-off representation vote.

The Board noted its previous decisions declaring the applicant the bargaining agent and finding the employer bound to the collective agreements.

Before scheduling a hearing or making a declaration, the Board directed the employer to file written submissions explaining its position in light of s. 69 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.

The applicant union filed a grievance against the responding party employer.

On consent of the parties, the Ontario Labour Relations Board adjourned the application sine die for a period not exceeding one year, to be deemed terminated if no request to proceed is made within that time.

The applicant applied under section 63 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995 for a declaration terminating the responding party union's bargaining rights.

The Board found the application was timely and that at least forty percent of the employees in the bargaining unit had expressed a wish not to be represented by the union.

Accordingly, the Board directed that a representation vote be taken among the eligible employees.

The applicant trade union applied for certification to represent employees of the responding party housing corporation.

The responding party disputed the applicant's estimate of employees in the proposed bargaining unit and gave notice under section 8.1 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.

The Board found that the applicant established sufficient membership support to obtain a representation vote.

The Board directed a representation vote, with individuals in disputed positions casting segregated ballots.

The applicant filed an application for review of an employment standards officer's decision that no monies were owing.

The application was filed outside the 45-day statutory time limit.

The Registrar advised the applicant of the late filing and provided an opportunity to request an extension of time.

As no request for an extension was made within the specified period, the Board terminated the application.

The applicant, Valley City Manufacturing Company Limited, sought to withdraw its application.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board granted leave to withdraw the application.

The applicant union applied for certification to represent employees of the responding party.

The applicant union filed applications for certification.

The interested party, SEIU, advised the Board that it received an incomplete copy of the application via fax.

The Board extended the deadline for filing responses and interventions until two days after the fresh delivery is effected.

In an application for certification in the construction industry, the Board determined the voter eligibility of several individuals.

The Board found that a working foreman did not exercise managerial functions as he lacked authority to hire, fire, or grant wage increases, and was therefore an employee entitled to vote.

The Board also determined that operating a compressor and moving scaffolding for painters fell within the union's work jurisdiction, making those employees eligible to vote.

However, an employee performing general site clean-up was performing labourers' work and was ineligible to vote.

The applicant union and responding employer agreed to adjourn the application sine die.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board consented to the adjournment for a period not exceeding one year, after which the matter will be deemed terminated if neither party requests to proceed.

The Board conducted a consultation to determine the arrangements for a representation vote in competing certification applications by UFCW Canada and CAW-Canada for employees at Sobeys.

The Board ordered a representation vote to be held on December 20, 2001, with a voting constituency of all employees in the Regional Municipality of Durham serving the Sobeys account, subject to certain exclusions.

The ballot will include options for CAW-Canada, District 2A, UFCW Canada, and no union.

The Board directed that part-time and full-time employees vote separately and that disputed employees' ballots be segregated.

In an application for certification in the construction industry, the applicant union challenged the status of several voters.
