The applicants filed an application for termination of bargaining rights under section 63(2) of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.
A representation vote was held and the ballot box was initially sealed.
At the hearing, the intervenor and applicants moved to count the ballots, which the responding party opposed.
The Board directed the ballots be counted, finding no serious prejudice to the responding party.
As not more than fifty percent of the ballots were cast in opposition to the responding party, the application was dismissed.
