The applicant union applied for certification.

A group of objecting employees sought to file statements of desire opposing the union after the terminal date, arguing that their original timely petition had been stolen from a company bulletin board where it was left unattended.

The Board declined to extend the terminal date, finding that leaving such a document unattended fatally tainted its voluntariness and the employees were the authors of their own misfortune.

As the union had sufficient membership support, a certificate was issued without a representation vote.
