The union applied for certification and filed an unfair labour practice complaint against the employer.
During the organizing campaign, the employer engaged in anti-union communications, laid off union supporters, and assisted in forming an employee association.
The Board found that the employer's actions violated sections 64, 66, and 70 of the Labour Relations Act.
The Board also determined that the true wishes of the employees were not likely to be ascertained due to the employer's conduct.
Consequently, the Board granted certification under section 8 of the Act and ordered the employer to reinstate the laid-off employees with compensation.
