The applicant union filed an application for certification.
The Ontario Labour Relations Board found that the applicant is a trade union and that it appeared to have the requisite 40% membership support in the proposed bargaining unit.
The Board directed a representation vote.
The applicant requested an expedited vote prior to the normal five-day period, alleging fears of unlawful conduct by the responding party.
The Board declined to vary its normal practice and scheduled the vote for the fifth day after the application was filed.
