The applicant trade union filed an application for certification.
The responding party employer sought to dismiss the application, alleging it was not served with all components, but failed to specify the missing components or any prejudice.
The Board declined to dismiss the application.
As there was a dispute regarding the appropriate bargaining unit and the number of employees, the Board could not be certain that the applicant had the requisite 40 percent support in its proposed unit.
Consequently, the Board ordered a representation vote but directed that the ballot box be sealed pending resolution of the disputes.
