The applicant union applied for certification.
The responding party 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 Board found that the applicant established sufficient membership support for a representation vote.
The majority directed that a representation vote be taken and the ballots counted, noting the responding party's agreement to count the ballots.
The dissenting Board member argued that the vote should not take place until the section 8.1 issues were resolved, or at least the ballot box should be sealed.
