Union certified after Board upholds agreed voters' list and dismisses forgery allegations regarding membership evidence.
The applicant union sought certification and won a representation vote.
Following the vote, four employees whose names were not on the agreed voters' list sought to have their segregated ballots counted.
The employer and objectors also alleged that a union membership card contained a forged signature and that the required $1 fee was not paid.
The Board held that the four segregated ballots would not be counted, as the parties had agreed to the voters' list and the employees had adequate notice to raise their concerns earlier.
Regarding the membership card, the Board permitted the union to adduce handwriting expert evidence, concluded the signature was genuine, and found the $1 fee was a bona fide loan from the collector.
The union was certified.
