The applicant union applied for certification.
Following a certification vote, the employer and intervening employees challenged the results, arguing that a late change in polling times provided insufficient notice to employees and that a union official engaged in inappropriate conduct during the organizing campaign.
The Board dismissed the challenges, finding that the parties' extensive efforts to communicate the vote details and the high voter turnout offset any deficiencies in formal notice.
The Board also held that the union official's alleged rude behaviour did not constitute an unfair labour practice or threaten the integrity of the vote.
The union was certified.
