Certification applications dismissed because an employer participated in the formation and administration of the applicant union.
The applicant union sought certification to represent limousine drivers, displacing the incumbent Teamsters union.
The respondent employers argued the applicant was not a trade union and was employer-dominated.
The Ontario Labour Relations Board found that while the applicant met the definition of a trade union, an employer (a co-operative corporation formed by the drivers' association to compete in the limousine business) had participated in its formation and administration.
Consequently, section 13 of the Labour Relations Act barred the Board from certifying the applicant, and the applications were dismissed.
