The applicant trade union filed an application for certification.
The responding party employer disputed the applicant's estimate of the number of employees in the proposed bargaining unit and gave notice under section 8.1 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.
The majority of the Board found that the applicant established sufficient membership support in its proposed bargaining unit to direct a representation vote.
The Board directed that a representation vote be taken and that any ballots cast by individuals whose inclusion in the bargaining unit was in dispute be segregated.
The dissenting Board member would have directed the ballot box to be sealed pursuant to section 8.1(4) of the Act.
