The intervener union, Local 272, requested that the Board not give effect to the results of a representation vote in which the applicant Association was successful.
Local 272 alleged that the employer provided improper support to the Association by settling an unfair labour practice complaint on the day of the vote, or alternatively, that the Association improperly exploited the perception of such support in its election campaign literature.
The Board found no evidence of improper employer support or collusion.
Furthermore, the Board concluded that the Association's campaign leaflet was not false or misleading and did not impair the critical faculties of a reasonable voter.
The request to set aside the vote was dismissed.
