The applicant union applied for certification.
The responding 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 Board found that the applicant's proposed bargaining unit could be appropriate and that the applicant established sufficient membership support to obtain a representation vote.
The Board ordered a representation vote, with disputed positions to be segregated.
One Board member dissented, arguing that the ballot box should be sealed until the section 8.1 issues were resolved.
