The applicant union sought certification for a bargaining unit of nurses.
The respondent employer objected to the inclusion of community co-ordinator/case managers, arguing they exercised managerial functions under section 1(3)(b) of the Labour Relations Act or, alternatively, were not employed in a nursing capacity.
The Board found that the co-ordinators did not exercise managerial functions, as they had no role in personnel matters, budgeting, or directing other employees.
The Board also found they were employed in a nursing capacity, as they were registered nurses who used their professional skills and judgment in their roles.
A final certificate was issued including the co-ordinators in the bargaining unit.
