The applicant union applied for certification.
A group of employees filed a petition opposing the certification, which included signatures of employees who had previously signed union membership cards.
The Board held a hearing to determine whether the petition represented a voluntary change of heart.
The sole witness for the objectors provided inconsistent and implausible testimony regarding the origination and circulation of the petition.
The Board concluded the petition was unreliable and declined to order a representation vote.
As the union demonstrated membership support in excess of fifty-five percent, interim certification was granted pending the resolution of the bargaining unit status of four individuals.
