The applicant trade union applied for certification to represent employees of the responding party.
The Board found that the applicant established sufficient membership support in its proposed bargaining unit to obtain a representation vote.
The responding party disputed the applicant's estimate of the number of employees and proposed a different bargaining unit, giving notice under section 8.1 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.
The Board directed that a representation vote be taken and that ballots of disputed part-time employees be segregated.
Board Member J.A. Rundle dissented, arguing that the ballot box should be sealed pursuant to section 8.1(4) of the Act because the employer disagreed with the union's estimate of the number of individuals in the unit.
