Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
board of referees  observations from the Commission 

Summary:

No attempt made to present a balanced or objective or even accurate view of the jurisprudence to Boards. Vast quagmire of injustice operating at Board's level. Boards are too dependent on the advice by the Commission. [p._12-13]


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
labour dispute  participation  picket lines 

Summary:

There is a presumption that when one voluntarily honours a picket line, he or she is participating. Presumption rebutted if refusal to cross is due to a threat of violence or if there would be no work in any event. VALOIS and CARROZZELLA referred to.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
board of referees  natural justice  free of bias 

Summary:

Commission's representative continually interrupted and asked questions as though she were a Board member. Hearing terminated as a result of her direction. This is entirely improper and a breach of natural justice. [p. 14]


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
board of referees  hearings  tape-recording 

Summary:

The Commission should adopt the practice of recording proceedings before the Boards. Written transcripts not necessary but some sort of typed or video-taped record could be made.
