The applicant union filed a displacement application for certification.
The Board found that the applicant is a trade union and that at least 40% of the individuals in the proposed bargaining unit were members.
The Board ordered a representation vote.
The intervenor union requested the application be dismissed due to alleged breaches of a court order, the union constitution, and Board rules, which the Board rejected.
However, because the intervenor also argued the application was untimely under section 7(4) of the Labour Relations Act, 1995, the Board directed that the ballot box be sealed pending further determination.
