The union alleged that the employer violated section 73.1(6) of the Labour Relations Act by using non-managerial replacement workers from another place of operations to perform the work of striking employees.
The employer argued that its entire service area constituted a single integrated place of operations.
The Board agreed with the employer, finding that the various work sites, including the headquarters, field locations, and generating stations, were operationally linked and not sufficiently distinct to constitute separate places of operations.
The application was dismissed.
