I should point out that in chart 2, I provided only three types of applications that I thought were relevant for the discussion, but we have several types of applications. In the case of maintenance of activities, as it shows here, we get between 25 and 30 of those cases per year. Unjust dismissal complaints are the largest type of complaint under part III of the code. They represent about one-third of the caseload of this board, and those are normally sent out to external adjudicators. With the challenge we had last year, that's a type of application that is now accruing and for which we're experiencing delays that I consider unreasonable, given where we are.
As for other types of applications, there are certification applications when a union comes in to be certified to represent a group of employees. We deal with those on an expedited basis. They're less than 5% of our caseload. Our objective is to deal with those within 50 days, and we meet that about 80% of the time. Cases that raise jurisdictional questions would take longer.
Unfair labour practice complaints, which appear on this chart, are another large piece of our work. I would say that they represent 10% to 15% of our work, and you see the delays there, or the processing time for dealing with them. They involve anything from termination of a union organizer to interference in bargaining or bad-faith bargaining complaints that come to us.
I don't know if that provides a good picture of what our workload looks like.
