Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
labour dispute stoppage of work settlement of dispute
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 settlement of dispute
Summary:

The only firm principle of law in the case of CARON: the end of the labour dispute and the termination of the stoppage of work are two distinct circumstances which may not coincide. One should rely on the facts applicable in this case. The intent of the parties is relevant.

Decision S-1063.87

summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
labour dispute stoppage of work settlement of dispute
Summary:

I do not read the FC majority reasons as stating that the end of the dispute necessarily implies termination of the stoppage in every case. Although they occurred on the same day in this case, this may not be the situation in other cases. 68% of workers recalled in aluminum plant on the day the agreement was signed. Nothing in the legislation supports criteria such as level of production and number of employees. Although the end of the dispute and stoppage coincided here, this may not always be so. [Act amended since]

summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
labour dispute stoppage of work settlement of dispute
Summary:

If it were not for the fact that claimant received strike pay until 1-7-89, I would find as a fact based on evidence that the dispute ended 24-2-89. However, in view of the strike pay, I am unable to find that the dispute ended earlier than 1-7-89. The question of when there is a termination of a stoppage of work is one of fact to be determined in the individual circumstances of each case. Here, it is clear that the stoppage and the dispute have terminated. The so-called obligation to negotiate nolonger has any meaning.

Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
labour dispute stoppage of work settlement of dispute
Summary:

The Board erred in law in stating that the tentative agreement brought to an end the dispute. Such agreement, by definition, has no effect until it is made definitive. It was never ratified and never took effect; the reasons why are not important. Leave to appeal to SC denied.

Cannot isolate stoppage and dispute. Do not agree that disentitlement continued after agreement: some employees recalled, dispute terminated, strike over, stoppage not attributable to dispute, role of union ceased, the rest depended only on the employer.

labour dispute stoppage of work settlement of dispute
Summary:

Claimant argues that continuation of the disentitlement after the end of the dispute infringes the freedom of association guaranteed by the Charter. I cannot agree with this. Even if s.31 limits the employees' right to strike, it would not be an infringement of the Charter.
