The applicant trade union applied for certification to represent five truck drivers employed by the respondent milk transport company.
The parties disputed the appropriate geographic description of the bargaining unit.
The respondent argued for the Board's standard municipality-based units, which would have fragmented the five employees into multiple units, some with only one employee.
The Board departed from its general practice, finding that the employees, though residing in different municipalities, all worked within the same general area and were part of a single integrated operation.
The Board defined the bargaining unit to encompass employees working in and out of the Regional Municipalities of York and Durham, and granted the certificate.
