The applicant employees applied to terminate the bargaining rights of the respondent union.
The union objected that the application was untimely because a conciliation officer had been appointed under the local agreement.
The Board found the application was timely with respect to the provincial agreement for the industrial, commercial and institutional sector.
The Board also determined that recent amendments to the Labour Relations Act extended the union's bargaining rights province-wide by operation of law, and amended the bargaining unit accordingly.
A representation vote was ordered.
