The applicant trade union applied for certification as the bargaining agent for employees of the respondent at clinics in Hamilton, Burlington, and London.
The Board found the applicant established its status as a trade union, dismissing objections regarding the sequence of its founding meeting and undated membership cards.
The Board rejected the applicant's request for a single combined bargaining unit covering all three municipalities, finding insufficient community of interest and no interchange of employees, and instead determined that three separate units were appropriate.
The Board granted a certificate for the Burlington unit and an interim certificate for the Hamilton unit pending the resolution of a disputed managerial exclusion, while appointing a Labour Relations Officer to inquire into disputed classifications at the London clinic.
