The applicant union applied to combine a newly certified bargaining unit of editorial employees in Simcoe County with an existing bargaining unit of editorial employees.
The respondent employer argued that the Board should not remain seized of the matter or should freeze the terms and conditions of employment, to allow the parties to bargain without interference.
The Board rejected the employer's arguments, noting that the statute expressly confers remedial jurisdiction to resolve differences arising from a combination order.
The Board ordered the two bargaining units combined and remained seized to deal with any further remedial relief.
