On September 2nd, prior to the CIRB issuing the Bargaining Rights to the TCRC, an emergecny complaint (Section 19. 19.1) was filed with the Board by Ms. Cindy Little, Belleville Local Chairperson, on behalf of herself and many other Local Representatives (complaint can be viewed at http://www.runningtrades.com/).
The complaint by Ms. Little concerned the many recent actions of the UTU International against Canadian Locals. The complaint requested that it needed Board intervention to prevent, among other things, irreparable harm.
A similar complaint was filed on behalf of the General Chairpersons.
The CIRB has advised the Respondent (UTU) that it has five days in which to respond to the complaint(s) and thereafter provided five days for the Complainants to respond.
I will keep you posted as events unfold.
