The applicant filed an application for certification and requested a pre-hearing representation vote.
The ballot box was sealed pending a determination of whether the applicant was a trade union within the meaning of section 1(1)(p) of the Labour Relations Act.
The Board found that the applicant had only completed two of the five steps required to establish trade union status prior to the application date, as it had not admitted members, ratified the constitution, or elected officers.
The application was dismissed.
