Representation vote ordered and ballot box sealed in certification application amid employer identity dispute.
The applicant trade union applied for certification.
The responding party and an intervenor union objected, arguing that the affected individuals were employed by a different entity and already represented by the intervenor.
The Board found that the applicant had established the requisite forty percent membership support in its proposed bargaining unit.
The Board ordered a representation vote but directed that the ballot box be sealed pending the resolution of the disputes regarding the identity of the employer and the effect of the alleged existing bargaining relationship.
