Re Bakery And Confectionery Workers' International Union, Local 322, And Canada Bread Co Ltd, Innis Christie, W Jewers, R Filion

Innis Christie Collection

Union Grievance alleging violation of a supplementary agreement concerning shift rotation.

The Facts:

With the implementation of the collective agreement of 1968, which preceded the present agreement, the company introduced in the shipping department a system which involved some rotation of shifts. That system is no longer in effect, and there is some uncertainty just when it ceased. It is agreed, however, that early in 1970 the company lost a major customer. That customer was last served on Saturday, February 28th, and a substantial lay-off followed immediately. On Sun-day, March 8th, the company's employees went on a legal strike, and …

Some Aspects Of The Lmrda Reporting Requirements, J. Ralph Beaird

Scholarly Works

Collective bargaining became the keystone of our national labor policy with the passage of the Wagner Act in 1935. The central role of this procedure was preserved in the Taft-Hartley and Landrum-Griffin Acts. By choosing collective bargaining as the principal instrument of labor market control, Congress sought to remove sources of industrial strife by a method which preserved private determination free from either unchecked employer power or smothering governmental control. Landrum-Griffin was supplementary legislation designed to eliminate or prevent practices which distorted and defeated the collective bargaining policy of the Labor-Management Relations Act. This statutory scheme has now been in …

Re United Automobile Workers, Local 673, And Douglas Aircraft Co Of Canada Ltd, Innis Christie

Innis Christie Collection

Union Grievance alleging that the company had violated the collective agreement by promoting certain employees outside the bargaining unit.

The Facts:

In art. 1 of the collective agreement the company recognizes the union as sole bargaining agent on behalf of its office and clerical employees, subject to a long list of exclusions which includes "secretaries to department managers and above". This arbitration arises from the fact that the company effected a reorganization at the start of 1970 by which, in company terms, the procurement department became the sub-division of procurement and material "headed by a director who ad­ministers five different …

Re United Steelworkers And Vulcan Containers (Canada) Ltd, Innis Christie, C Gareau, N E. Wrycraft

Innis Christie Collection

Employee Discharge alleging unjust discharge. Determination of quantum of damages.

AWARD:

In an award dated November 21, 1969, this board ordered the grievor to be reinstated in employment with compensation for loss of income except for wages she would have received in the first two weeks following her discharge by the company. Mr. Wrycraft dissented. The majority award stated that the grievor was subject to a duty to mitigate her losses so that any actual earnings and an amount equal to any earnings that she could have had if she had made a reasonable and prudent effort to find other …

Re United Steelworkers, Local 4820, And Haley Industries Ltd, Innis Christie, D M. Storey, D Churchhill-Smith

Innis Christie Collection

Employee grievance alleging a breach of the collective agreement dated January 9, 1968, in that the company assigned overtime work taking inventory to an employee who did not normally perform such work rather than assigning it to the grievor who did normally perform such work. The grievor seeks compensation for twelve hours work at time and one-half.

Re United Electrical Workers, Local 523, And Welland Forge Ltd, Innis Christie, S Bullock, E J. Orsini

Innis Christie Collection

Employee Grievance alleging failure to pay full pay for certain holidays.

The facts:

There was no real dispute between the parties about the facts. I should perhaps note at the outset that in its written statement of facts submitted to the board the union treats both grievances as relating to the July 1st holiday. The com-pany's statement of facts, on the other hand, treats McHarg's grievance as relating to the August 4th holiday. McHarg's grievance form itself does not indicate to which holiday it relates. He was sick for both of them and it is a reasonable inference that his …

The Law Of Picketing In Alberta, Innis Christie

Innis Christie Collection

The author discusses the law of picketing with special emphasis on cases decided in Alberta and on the peculiarities of the Alberta labour legislation. The law relating to picketing is considered in two categories: Picketing in support of unlawful strikes and picketing in support of lawful strikes. In this context the author discusses when picketing can be enjoined or give rise to damage actions. The author recommends a rational assessment of when, where and how picketing should be allowed in the context of the Canadian system of collective bargaining, with less reliance in the control of picketing on the torts …

On The Waterfront At The Pier’S Edge: The Longshoremen’S And Harbor Worker’S Compensation Act, George P. Smith Ii

Scholarly Articles

The law relating to longshoremen's remedies abounds with surprising anomalies, hyper-technical distinctions, and bits and pieces of judicial legislation. This situation stems largely from deficiencies in the Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act of 1927, an inherently inadequate statute greatly distorted by recent judicial interpretation.
