- Certifications/Decertifications
Application for certification. The Ontario Labour Relations Board directed the counting of the ballots notwithstanding the employer was seeking a judicial review of both the Board’s decision and its refusal to re-consider its decision finding an employee ineligible to vote and therefore the Union possibly in a certification position. The considerable delay (two years had passed since the making of the application) and the practicalities (if the Union lost, the application would be concluded whereas even if the union won the employer could suffer no prejudice since it was free to still argue its remaining objections) all dictated the counting of the ballots at this point of time and not waiting for the outcome of possible court proceedings.
