Application before the Board
[1] This decision deals with a position that has been identified as managerial or confidential by the National Film Board (the “employer”) pursuant to section 5.2 of the Public Service Staff Relations Act (the “former Act”).
[2] In Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada v. National Film Board and Public Service Alliance of Canada, PSSRB File No. 144-8-104 (September 20, 1968), as amended by Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada, v. National Film Board, PSSRB File No. 144-8-104 (December 13, 1977) the Board certified the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (the “bargaining agent”) as the bargaining agent for the following bargaining unit (the “bargaining unit”):
all employees of the Employer in the administrative and foreign service category.
[3] On April 1, 2005, the Public Service Labour Relations Act (the “new Act”), enacted by section 2 of the Public Service Modernization Act (PSMA), S.C. 2003, c. 22, was proclaimed in force. Pursuant to subsection 48(1) of the PSMA, the bargaining agent continues to be certified as the bargaining agent for the bargaining unit.
[4] On July 7, 2005, the employer notified the Board and the bargaining agent of the identification of a position in the bargaining unit as managerial or confidential pursuant to the former Act. That position is listed in the annex to this decision. This matter will be dealt with as if it were an application under section 71 of the new Act, on the grounds listed in the annex to this decision.
[5] Under subsection 34(1) of the Public Service Labour Relations Board Regulations, the bargaining agent had 20 days from the receipt of a copy of the application to file an objection with the Board. More than 20 days have elapsed, without the bargaining agent having filed any objection to the application.
[6] Since no objections to the employer’s application have been filed, the Board must make, pursuant to section 75 of the new Act, an order declaring the position listed in the annex to this decision to be a managerial or confidential position.
[7] For all of the above reasons, the Board makes the following order:
Order
[8] The position identified in the annex to this decision is declared to be a managerial or confidential position.
August 23, 2005.
