The applicant trade union applied for certification to represent maintenance and security employees of the responding party.
The Board found that the applicant is a trade union and that at least forty percent of the individuals in the proposed bargaining unit were members.
The Board directed a representation vote.
The employer disagreed with the union's estimate of the number of individuals in the bargaining unit under section 8.1 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.
However, the majority of the Board determined that regardless of the estimate used, the forty percent threshold was met, and declined to seal the ballot box.
A dissenting Board member would have ordered the ballot box sealed pursuant to section 8.1(4) of the Act.
