Representation vote directed in certification application pending determination of trade union status.
The applicant union filed an application for certification.
The Board found that the applicant had not yet established its trade union status under the Labour Relations Act, 1995, and would be required to make submissions on this issue.
However, based on the agreement of the parties regarding the appropriate bargaining unit and the appearance of sufficient membership support, the Board directed that a representation vote be taken among the employees in the voting constituency.
