The applicant union applied for certification to represent employees of the responding party.
The Board found the applicant to be a trade union and determined the appropriate bargaining unit based on the parties' agreement.
Finding that at least 40% of the individuals in the proposed unit were union members, the Board directed a representation vote.
Although the employer gave notice under section 8.1 of the Act disagreeing with the union's estimate of individuals in the unit, the employer agreed to count the ballots, so the Board did not order the ballot box sealed.
Board Member Ronson dissented, arguing the vote should not take place or the ballot box should be sealed until the section 8.1 issues were resolved.
