Summary:
S. 31 does not impose any test of legality of the stoppage of work and it is certainly not for the CEIC, a Board or an Umpire to try to determine a difficult issue of provincial labour law. Nothing shows that what happened here was anything other than a labour dispute. FC agrees.

Summary:
It is argued that because management brought in substitute workers to keep the cinemas going there was no stoppage. The jurisprudence is clear in cases where work is maintained through extraordinary means and not by the return of the majority of the previous workers. FC agrees.
