W. F. Wightman

During a union certification application, the employer alleged that an employee had signed a union membership card without paying the required $1.00 initiation fee.

The Board held a hearing to assess the credibility of the employee and the union collector.

The Board preferred the evidence of the union collector, finding that the employee had indeed paid the $1.00 fee.

The union's documentary evidence was found to comply with the Labour Relations Act.
