The CAW and UFCW filed competing applications for certification regarding employees at Coca-Cola's new Brampton facility.
UFCW Local 175 claimed existing bargaining rights based on a collective agreement provision extending rights to new facilities within a 50-mile radius if staffed by its members.
The Board declined to immediately order a representation vote, finding that the fundamental issue of whether UFCW Local 175 already held bargaining rights for the facility needed to be determined first.
The matter was scheduled for further hearing.
