The applicant union sought to adjourn the hearing of its certification application so it could be heard together with a newly filed section 96 unfair labour practice application concerning the termination of an employee.
The responding party employer opposed the adjournment, arguing the matters should be heard separately and it needed time to prepare.
The Board granted the adjournment, finding the applicant's explanation for the late filing reasonable and noting an overlap in evidence and witnesses between the pre-vote and post-vote events.
The Board directed the matters be scheduled together.
