Pacific Opera Victoria Association v. Local 168 [2001] B.C.L.R.B. No. B100 (BC Labour Relations Board)

Second of three decisions.  Application by the employer for reconsideration of BCLRB No. B149/2000.  The administrative employees did not seek reconsideration of the Board’s denial of their application to revoke their bargaining rights.  The reconsideration panel found that the original panel had erred in its interpretation of the jurisprudence.  The test does not require the application to demonstrate a “change of circumstances”.  Rather than referring the matter back to the original panel, the Board chose to dismiss the application on the basis that the employer was free to bring a new variance application.
