The applicants sought to terminate the bargaining rights of the responding trade union.

A representation vote was held, resulting in a narrow majority in favour of the union retaining its bargaining rights.

Following the vote, several employees alleged that a vocal union supporter had uttered threats and intimidated employees in the days leading up to the vote, and requested a new vote.

The Board held a hearing to assess the allegations.

Finding the evidence of the employees to be fragmentary, internally inconsistent, and influenced by the highly partisan atmosphere of the decertification campaign, the Board preferred the union supporter's denial.

The Board concluded that the allegations of threats were not established and dismissed the application to annul the vote.
