The applicant union brought applications under section 63 of the Labour Relations Act following the conversion of several New Dominion stores to A & P stores.
The Board found that the conversions constituted a transfer of part of a business, making A & P the successor employer.
To resolve the conflict between the province-wide bargaining rights of the applicant and the existing rights of the intervener unions at the converted stores, the Board amended the applicant's scope clause to exclude the converted stores by street address and added a clarity note to the interveners' scope clauses to preserve their bargaining rights at those specific locations, without restricting their broader geographic scope.
