The applicant, Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), applied for a declaration under section 54 of the Labour Relations Act that it acquired the rights, privileges, and duties of its predecessor, the Staff Association of the Children's Aid Society of Metropolitan Toronto, following a merger or transfer of jurisdiction.
The employer questioned the adequacy of the notice for the meetings where the vote was held.
The Board found that the notice and voting procedures complied with the predecessor's constitution and by-laws, and that reasonable notice of the meeting's contents was provided to the membership.
The Board granted the application and declared CUPE the successor union.
