Before:  Y. Tarte

(Decided without a hearing)

[1]    In Canadian Food Inspection Agency v. Public Service Alliance of Canada, Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada, Association of Public Service Financial Administrators, Social Science Employees Association and the Council of Graphic Arts Union (140-32-14, October 27, 1997), the Board certified the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (bargaining agent) as the bargaining agent for the following bargaining unit (bargaining unit):

all the employees of the employer performing duties in positions which are or would be classified under the Veterinary Medicine (VM) Group in the classification system of the Treasury Board;

[2]    On July 14, 2003, the bargaining agent applied to the Board to record an alteration in the process for resolution of a dispute applicable to the bargaining unit. The bargaining agent specified that referral to conciliation is now to apply when there is a dispute to which it may be a party because of the bargaining unit.

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

[4]    The process for resolution of a dispute recorded above by the Board applies to the bargaining unit as of the day on which notice to bargain collectively is given for the first time after July 14, 2003 and remains in force for the bargaining unit until the next alteration is made pursuant to section 39 of the Act.
