Request for reconsideration of representation vote date dismissed to avoid employee confusion.

The applicant union requested reconsideration of the Board's decision to hold a representation vote on June 7, 2001, rather than June 4, 2001, arguing that the Board's discretion under section 8(5) of the Labour Relations Act, 1995 to order a vote beyond the five-day period should be exercised sparingly.

The responding party employer indicated that significantly more employees would be scheduled to work on June 7 than on June 4.

The Board declined to amend its decision, finding that even if the applicant's submissions regarding the test for delaying the vote were correct, ordering a change to the vote date on the day it was originally requested would cause confusion among employees.

The request for reconsideration was dismissed, with one Board Member dissenting.
