The Ontario Public Service Employees Union applied for certification to represent security officers at Windsor Racetrack Slots.
The Ontario Labour Relations Board found the applicant to be a trade union and determined the appropriate bargaining unit.
Based on the membership evidence, the Board directed a representation vote.
Although the employer gave notice under section 8.1 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995 disagreeing with the union's estimate of employees, the Board found the union had more than 40% membership and directed that the ballot box not be sealed.
Board Member Ronson dissented, arguing the ballot box should be sealed under subsection 8.1(4).
