An application for unionization for Tim Hortons workers in Canora was approved by the Saskatchewan Labour Relations Board on February 5.
The union had previously applied for certification to represent all non-managerial employees at Tim Hortons in Canora, according to a release from the Saskatchewan Labour Relations Board. The employer objected on the basis that this was not a unit appropriate for collective bargaining purposes under The Saskatchewan Employment Act.
The board reviewed submissions from both sides and ruled in favour of the unionization application, according to the release.
The board concluded that the following unit qualifies as an appropriate bargaining unit:
鈥淎ll employees (including shift supervisors) 鈥� operating as Tim Hortons in Canora, except supervisory employees鈥� or those who exercise managerial responsibilities.鈥�
