The applicant union applied for certification of a bargaining unit of paramedics employed by the municipality.
The intervenor union claimed it already held bargaining rights for these employees under its existing collective agreement for 'outside' workers, which would render the application untimely.
The Board found that the paramedics fell within the 'technical personnel' exclusion in the intervenor's collective agreement, as their core duties involved performing controlled medical acts.
The Board also determined that an all-paramedic bargaining unit was appropriate.
The application was found timely, and the parties were directed to file submissions regarding a post-vote complaint.
