The union requested written reasons for a remedial order previously issued by the Board.
The employer argued the Board was not obligated to provide them.
The Board held that section 17 of the Statutory Powers Procedure Act requires it to provide written reasons when requested by a party.
The Board briefly outlined its reasons for the remedial order, finding that the employer violated the Labour Relations Act by intending not to make a collective agreement to let bargaining rights lapse, failing to reinstate striking employees who unconditionally applied to return to work, and threatening reprisal against witnesses who testified before the Board.
