Board orders representation vote in construction industry certification application, sealing ballot boxes pending status disputes.
The applicant union filed an application for certification under the construction industry provisions of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.
The Board found that the applicant submitted sufficient membership evidence to order a representation vote, despite some ambiguity in the application forms regarding the specific local union.
The responding party disputed its status as a construction employer and filed a notice under section 8.1.
The Board ordered a representation vote to be held, with the ballot boxes sealed pending the resolution of the employer's status and any remaining issues regarding the membership evidence.
