The applicant union applied for certification.
Following a representation vote where more than fifty percent of ballots were cast in favour of the union, an employee filed written submissions protesting certain aspects of the vote and requesting a second vote.
The employee raised concerns about agreements on segregated ballots, employees allegedly fearful of voting, lack of notice, and alleged coercion.
The Board dismissed the employee's objections, finding that the parties were entitled to agree on the voters list and segregated ballots, the fears of disclosure were unfounded, proper notice was posted, and there was no evidence of coercion.
The Board certified the applicant union as the bargaining agent for the agreed-upon bargaining unit.
