The Canadian Paperworkers Union applied for certification to represent employees at Cooper Corrugated Containers Ltd. A group of employees filed a petition opposing the certification.
The Board held a hearing to determine the voluntariness of the petition.
The Board found the testimony of the petition's originator lacked credibility and failed to establish that the petition was a voluntary expression of the employees' true wishes.
Consequently, the Board declined to order a representation vote and granted interim certification to the union.
