The applicant employee applied to terminate the bargaining rights of the respondent union.
The Board found that the employer's president had assisted the applicant by finding a lawyer to represent the employees, and that this involvement was conveyed to the other employees at a meeting held on the employer's premises.
The Board concluded that the employer's conduct interfered with the employees' ability to voluntarily express their wishes.
As the statement of desire was not voluntary, the application was dismissed.
