The claimant alleged that the only employees "directly interested" in the labour dispute were those whose conditions of employment were automatically determined or modified by the outcome of the dispute. Claimant’s allegations summarily rejected by the FCA. For more details, consult summaries indexed under CUB 37885.

Decision 37885 Full Text of Decision 37885

Stoppage of work attributable to a labour dispute. Three unions involved, but all under the CSN. The collective agreements all expired at the same time. Umpire found that, despite the fact that security and clerical staff were legally members of another unit of the same union, they could not circumvent section 31. The claims were the same in several regards; the benefits granted were partially the same and everyone was waiting for the main dispute to be resolved to sign their own collective agreement.
