Certification granted for security guards; no conflict of interest where union does not represent monitored employees.
The applicant union applied to certify a bargaining unit of security guards employed by the responding party casino.
The employer objected under section 14 of the Labour Relations Act, arguing that a conflict of interest would result because the union admits non-guards to membership and the guards monitor other casino employees.
The Board found that while the guards' monitoring duties were significant, no conflict of interest would result because the union did not represent the other casino employees being monitored.
The employer's objection was dismissed and a certificate was issued to the union.
Board denies casino's adjournment request in security guard certification and orders employer to proceed first.
The union applied for certification to represent security guards at the responding party's casino.
The employer raised preliminary objections, including that the union was not a registered supplier under the Gaming Control Act and that certification would create a conflict of interest under s. 14 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995.
The employer sought an adjournment pending the union's registration application, which the Board denied, citing the need for expedition in certification matters.
The Board also ordered mutual production of documents and directed the employer to proceed first on the conflict of interest objection to ensure an efficient hearing.
