Two trade unions applied for certification under the construction industry provisions of the Labour Relations Act.
The applicants proposed bargaining units that included geographic areas where the employer had no employees working at the time of the applications.
The Board held that an 'appropriate geographic area' under subsection 144(1) of the Act must be an area where employees were actually employed on the application date.
The Board defined the appropriate bargaining units accordingly and directed that the applications be listed for hearing on the remaining issues.
