The applicant union applied for certification for a bargaining unit of carpenters and carpenters' apprentices.
The respondent employer and intervener union argued that the employees in question were 'form setters' or labourers covered by an existing collective agreement, not carpenters.
The Board examined the work performed by the 25 individuals in dispute and concluded that they were all performing traditional carpenter's work on a substantial and continuous basis.
Consequently, the Board determined that all 25 employees fell within the applicant's proposed bargaining unit.
