Union certified; allegations of coercion in signing membership cards dismissed as mere change of mind.
The union applied for certification.
Two employees alleged they were intimidated and coerced by union organizers into signing membership cards, and requested that the Board dismiss the application.
The Board held a hearing and found that the statements made by the organizers did not amount to intimidation or coercion, but rather constituted typical social pressure and salesmanship during an organizing drive.
The Board concluded that the employees had simply changed their minds about supporting the union after signing the cards.
As the union filed membership evidence on behalf of over 55% of the employees, the Board dismissed the allegations and certified the union.
