Ontario Labour Relations Board

A brief update on what went on yesterday.

2 hours were spent between the two parties, unable to agree that MNP corporation had any business (es) in Canada/Ontario. MNP is providing the "I know nothing" about Genfast defence. That Genfast is a separate bankrupt company that has nothing to do with them. The MNP lawyer provided a "hypothetical" situation that had an incredible similarty to the Genfast/MNP relationship, and disputed that even under this situation the OLB has any jurisdiction as they are an American Company.

The MNP tactic is to block. Stop the argument at ownership vs control.

I wanted to jump out of the visitors chair on a number of occasions.
People from the salaried and union were in attendance watching this unfold.

I believe the USW wishes to have an update with our membership before the next hearing date.
