Board directs representation vote for nursing home employees and declines request to seal ballot box.
The applicant union applied for certification to represent part-time employees at the responding party's nursing home.
The Board found the applicant to be a trade union and determined the appropriate bargaining unit based on the parties' agreement.
Finding that at least 40% of the individuals in the proposed unit were members of the union, the Board directed a representation vote.
The intervenor raised objections regarding alleged unfair labour practices and requested that the ballot box be sealed, but the Board declined, noting previous rulings on similar objections.
The Board ordered the vote to proceed and the ballots to be counted.
