The applicant applied to the Ontario Labour Relations Board under section 57 of the Labour Relations Act to terminate the bargaining rights of the respondent union.
The Board determined that the application was timely, finding that a prior memorandum of agreement established the true term of the collective agreement.
The Board accepted the employee petition as a voluntary signification that they no longer wished to be represented by the union.
Finding that at least 45 per cent of the employees in the bargaining unit had signed the petition, the Board directed that a representation vote be taken.
One Board member dissented.
