Bills, as. well as .the
prohibition of their use„.
One of the 'most significant
amendnients is the ban on
petitions'-- (also known as
statements of••desire)..to"the
Ontario Labour 'Relations
Board. Apparently petitions
are frequently prepared or
•h ired by 'the eniploYer,, a
fact Which' " the Board
discovers only after con-
sidecab'lQ' :delay. Tri ` 'c'er-
tific•ation:and expense to the
union.1.The Bill: relating - to
supervisory personnel would`
restrict exclusion- .from union
to a
covera

whose primary -responsibility. '
is- to • actually exercise
authority and actually per-
r°orm functions coons that are of -a

-obtain a first collective
.agreement, one Bill.. would
enable the•Labour Relations
Board to ,arbitrate the first
agreement:'The Board would
be required to consider' bad
faith bargaining and other
.instances of: "foot dragging"
by the employer in its award -
which • would. tend to.
discourage -Such actions.
The redefinition
of the. term':
`'lockout 'contained T ns of
the Bills is a limitation of the
definition in`the .Act. This Bill
•
would eliminate' those aspects
of • the ' efinition relating to
employers',,motives an4 the
idea is.•to~°'allow unions to'
determine the legality of a
lockout ' on ' its obvious
manifestation, rather than..
underlying motives - of which
the union may be hard-
