The applicant union applied for certification of a bargaining unit of security guards.
The parties disputed the geographic description of the bargaining unit, with the union proposing a unit covering regional municipalities and counties, while the employer proposed a unit limited to specific municipalities.
The Board found the employer's proposed unit appropriate, consistent with its general practice of describing non-construction bargaining units by municipality.
As the union had sufficient membership support regardless of the resolution of remaining disputes over managerial exclusions, the Board granted interim certification and referred the list issues to a Labour Relations Officer.
