The union filed unfair labour practice complaints alleging the employer engaged in bad faith bargaining during a lengthy strike.
The employer refused to meet with the union for over three months despite repeated requests, citing picket line issues and production demands.
When the employer finally tabled a proposal, it contained significant concessions that undermined seniority and union protections.
The Board found the employer breached its duty to bargain in good faith by failing to meet and by tabling a proposal designed for rejection.
The Board directed the parties to return to bargaining forthwith.
