Union certification granted following successful representation vote; status of registered nurses left for future negotiations.

The applicant union applied for certification and a representation vote was held.

The parties agreed on the bargaining unit description, but the employer maintained that registered nurses were not employees under the Act.

The Board found it unnecessary to determine the status of registered nurses because the margin of the vote in favour of the union was sufficient to dispose of the application.

A certificate was issued to the applicant union.
