Board directs representation vote in displacement application for certification, finding application timely and declining to seal ballot box.

The applicant trade union filed a displacement application for certification under the construction industry provisions of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.

Relying on previous jurisprudence, the Board declined to seal the ballot box and directed a representation vote for the proposed bargaining unit of carpenters and carpenters' apprentices.

Representation vote directed in construction industry certification application; section 8.1 challenge dismissed.

The applicant trade union filed an application for certification under the construction industry provisions of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.

The Board further held that section 8.1 does not apply to construction industry certification applications, and therefore declined to seal the ballot box.
