The applicant applied to terminate the respondent union's bargaining rights.
The union and the intervener employer signed a collective agreement after the application was filed.
The Board found the application was timely under sections 49(1) and 53(3)(b) of the Labour Relations Act, as the protection period following conciliation had expired.
The Board held that a collective agreement signed subsequent to the application cannot defeat it.
Finding that the petition represented the true wishes of the employees, the Board ordered a representation vote.
