The applicant union applied for certification to represent employees of the respondent, who operated a bus terminal exclusively for Greyhound Lines of Canada Limited.
The respondent raised a preliminary objection that its operations fell within federal jurisdiction, as Greyhound is an inter-provincial carrier.
The Board found that the respondent's ticketing, parcel handling, and maintenance functions were an integral and essential part of Greyhound's inter-provincial operation.
Consequently, the Board determined that the respondent's labour relations were subject to federal jurisdiction and dismissed the application.
