The applicant union brought an application alleging a sale of a business from North West Timber Limited to Black River Logging Inc. under section 69 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.
The responding parties failed to attend the hearing.
The union presented evidence that the new company operated at the same site, with the same employees, doing the same work, and shared the same president.
The Board drew a negative inference from the responding parties' failure to attend and found that a sale of a business had occurred.
The Board declared the new company bound by the existing collective agreement.
