The applicant, the sole employee in the bargaining unit, applied to terminate the respondent union's bargaining rights.
The union challenged the applicant's status to bring the application, arguing he was not a member in good standing.
The Board found the applicant had status.
However, the Board dismissed the application on the basis that the petition did not represent a voluntary expression of employee wishes, as the applicant had discussed the application with the employer prior to filing and the employer had offered to assist with legal costs, constituting employer interference.
A dissenting Board member would have found the petition voluntary and ordered a vote.
