RE: Alteration of the Dispute Resolution Process -
       Translation Group


Before:  Joseph W. Potter, Vice-Chairperson

Decided without a hearing

[1]      In Canadian Union of Professional and Technical Employees v. Treasury Board (142-2-329, May 17, 1999), the Board confirmed the certification of the Canadian Union of Professional and Technical Employees (bargaining agent) as the bargaining agent for the bargaining unit (bargaining unit) defined as follows:

all employees of the employer included in the Translation Group, as defined in the Canada Gazette of March 27, 1999.

[2]      On March 3, 2003, the bargaining agent asked the Board to record an alteration in the dispute resolution process that applies to the bargaining unit. The bargaining agent explained that referral to arbitration would henceforth apply in the case of disputes to which it may be party by reason of the bargaining unit.

[3]      Pursuant to section 39 of the Public Service Staff Relations Act (Act), the Board records referral to arbitration as the dispute resolution process chosen by the bargaining agent.

[4]      The dispute resolution process recorded above by the Board becomes effective for the bargaining unit as of the date on which notice to bargain collectively is given next following March 3, 2003, and remains in effect for the bargaining unit until an alteration is again made pursuant to section 39 of the Act.
