The applicant union filed a displacement application for certification.
Following a representation vote where more than 50 percent of the ballots were cast in favour of the applicant, the intervenor union requested that the Board postpone issuing a certificate pending the outcome of a contempt motion in Superior Court and internal Canadian Labour Congress proceedings.
The Board dismissed the request, finding no valid reason to delay the final determination and noting that section 10 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995 requires the Board to certify the applicant when a majority of votes are in its favour.
A certificate was issued to the applicant.
