The applicant union referred a construction industry grievance to arbitration, alleging the respondent breached the provincial collective agreement by performing drywall and acoustic work in the ICI sector without obtaining workers from the union's hiring hall.
The respondent, who was previously declared a single employer bound by the agreement, sought an adjournment which the Board denied.
The Board found the respondent breached the agreement and, relying on the union's uncontradicted evidence estimating labour costs at one-half of the contract price, awarded $45,410.00 in damages for lost earnings to unemployed union members.
