Union's successor rights and related employer applications dismissed regarding brewery's subcontracting of hospitality services.
The applicant union alleged that Molson's Brewery transferred part of its business to two subcontractors, Charming Hostess Inc. and Amsterdam Catering Services Limited, or alternatively, that the three entities should be treated as a single employer under the Labour Relations Act.
Molson's had closed its internal hospitality room and contracted with the respondents to provide upgraded food and hostess services in a new facility.
The Board found that Molson's had not disposed of part of its business but merely contracted for services to enhance its own operations.
The Board also declined to make a related employer declaration, noting the subcontractors were independent businesses and the union was attempting to extend, rather than preserve, its bargaining rights.
The applications were dismissed.
