The applicant employee applied to terminate the respondent union's bargaining rights.
The Board examined the voluntariness of the petition signed by employees in support of the application.
The Board found that the applicant had misrepresented to employees that he had a confidential source indicating that previous benefits would be reinstated if the union was decertified, leading employees to perceive a link with management.
Consequently, the Board concluded the petition was not voluntary and dismissed the application.
A dissenting board member would have ordered a representation vote.
