REASONS FOR DECISION
Before: Ian R. Mackenzie, Vice-Chairperson
For the Applicant: Micheline Maisonneuve, Treasury Board
Application before the Board
[1] This decision deals with an application by the Treasury Board (the "employer") for an order declaring that some positions are managerial or confidential pursuant to section 71 of Public Service Labour Relations Act (the "new Act").
[2] In Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada v. Treasury Board, PSSRB File No. 142-2-342 (June 3, 1999), the Board confirmed 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 Applied Science and Engineering Group as defined in Part I of the Canada Gazette of March 27, 1999.
[3] On April 1, 2005, 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 May 27, 2005, the employer applied to the Board for an order declaring that some positions in the bargaining unit are managerial or confidential pursuant to section 71 of the new Act. Those positions are listed in the annex to this decision.
[5] On or about May 27, 2005, the employer provided the bargaining agent with a copy of the application, pursuant to section 72 of the new Act.
[6] 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.
[7] 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 positions listed in the annex to this decision to be managerial or confidential positions.
[8] For all of the above reasons, the Board makes the following order:
Order
[9] The positions identified in the annex to this decision are declared to be managerial or confidential positions.
August 4, 2005.
