The union applied for certification of a bargaining unit.
The employer argued that one of the two individuals in the proposed unit was not an employee, but rather a volunteer or independent contractor who occasionally helped out and received small sums of money or meals.
The Board found that the individual was a casual employee because he provided services in exchange for compensation.
The Board also declined to segregate the full-time and casual employees into separate bargaining units, as doing so would prevent collective bargaining altogether.
A certificate was issued to the union.
