The intervener, Labourers' Local 183, requested that the Board reconsider its decision certifying the Christian Labour Association of Canada (CLAC) as the bargaining agent for the respondent's employees.
Local 183 alleged that CLAC obtained its membership evidence with the assistance of the employer, contrary to section 12 of the Labour Relations Act.
The Board found that while the employer had mentioned CLAC to some employees, he did not tell them they had to join the union to work, and CLAC neither sought nor knowingly benefited from management support.
The Board concluded that section 12 did not apply and denied the request for reconsideration.
