The union applied for certification of the respondent's employees.
The respondent argued its air freight forwarding business fell under federal jurisdiction as an integral part of interprovincial and international air transport.
The Board held that the respondent's business was a purely local undertaking, as it merely contracted with air carriers on behalf of customers and did not provide interprovincial transportation itself.
The Board assumed jurisdiction.
In an addendum, the Board found an employee petition opposing certification was voluntary and ordered a representation vote.
