The appellant employer appealed a Federal Court of Appeal decision dismissing its challenge to a Canada Labour Relations Board order.
The Board had varied a 1963 certification order to update the description of the bargaining unit.
The appellant argued this was effectively a new certification application that improperly expanded the unit without determining majority support or appropriateness, and that it improperly included free lancers.
The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the appeal, finding that the Board's order merely updated the description to reflect current classifications, did not enlarge the bargaining unit, and expressly excluded free lancers.
