Representation vote directed for registered nurses; employer's section 8.1 notice invalid for lacking employee estimate.
The applicant union applied for certification to represent registered nurses at the responding party's long-term care facility.
The Board found that the applicant is a trade union and that at least forty percent of the individuals in the proposed bargaining unit were members.
The Board directed a representation vote.
The Board also found that the employer's notice under section 8.1 of the Labour Relations Act was of no effect because it failed to provide an estimate of the number of individuals in the proposed bargaining unit.
