Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
labour dispute stoppage of work rule of 85% exceptions
Summary:

Collective agreement and return to work protocol signed on 21-12-92. However the workforce was only 85% of what it had been, and a 100% resumption of production was achieved only on 11-01-93. The validity of s. 53(1) of the Regulations was challenged. The FCA found that the moments when work and production resume are part of the circumstances for termination of a work stoppage, and that it is up to the Commission to make an assessment of the situation on the basis of s. 44(e) of the Act.** The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the claimant’s application for leave to appeal before it.

labour dispute stoppage of work rule of 85% exceptions
Summary:

It is deemed that it is not sufficient for the Board to conclude that Reg. 49(2)(b) can lead to an application on the basis of economic change; the 85% rule must be examined taking into account the normal readjusted rates in accordance with new circumstances. Error in law.

summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
labour dispute stoppage of work rule of 85% exceptions
Summary:

I have not been satisfied that the build-up of inventory prior to a strike or lockout, which can delay the resumption of employment beyond 85%, is an "event" which creates an exception under s. 49.
