The applicant union applied for certification.
The Board considered whether the applicant, which was not included in the Minister's designation for the employee bargaining agency, could apply under section 144(5) of the Labour Relations Act.
The Board found that the applicant is an affiliated bargaining agent and must apply under section 144(1).
The Board determined the appropriate bargaining unit and directed the matter to be listed for continuation of hearing to deal with an employee petition.
