The applicant trade union applied for certification to represent a bargaining unit of warehouse employees.
The responding party employer disputed the applicant's estimate of the number of employees in the proposed unit and gave notice under section 8.1 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.
The majority of the Board found that the numerical difference between the parties was not significant and that the applicant had established sufficient membership support to obtain a representation vote and have it counted.
A representation vote was directed.
The dissenting Board member would have directed the ballot box to be sealed pursuant to section 8.1(4) of the Act.
