Representation vote ordered in certification application with ballot box sealed due to bargaining unit dispute.

The applicant trade union applied for certification to represent employees at the responding party's manufacturing plant.

The responding party disputed the applicant's estimate of the number of employees in the proposed bargaining unit and proposed a different unit description, giving notice under section 8.1 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.

The Board found that the applicant's proposed unit could be appropriate and that the union had the requisite 40 percent membership support.

The Board ordered a representation vote to be held, with the ballot box sealed pending resolution of the significant numerical difference and the appropriate bargaining unit description.
