The applicant union referred a grievance to the Board under section 124 of the Labour Relations Act, alleging the respondent employer failed to make required remittances for various funds.
The employer argued it was not bound by a collective agreement for sewer and watermain work.
The Board held that while a preliminary 'short agreement' was not a collective agreement, the parties' Concrete and Drain Agreement was binding.
Under article 10.04 of that agreement, the employer was required to apply the terms of the Sewer and Watermain Agreement to such work, even after the latter agreement had expired.
The Board directed the employer to make the required remittances.
