The applicant union referred grievances to the Ontario Labour Relations Board under section 133 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995, concerning the application of the Operating Engineers' Provincial Agreement to the responding parties' crane and equipment rental businesses.
On the second day of the hearing, the parties reached a settlement.
The Board issued a consent declaration confirming that the Provincial Agreement requires the responding parties to observe Schedule 'A' throughout Ontario, including Lambton County, but acknowledging that an estoppel permits the application of Schedule 'F' in Lambton County until the expiry of the current agreement.
