The applicant trade union applied for certification.
A group of employees filed a petition in opposition.
The Board held an inquiry into a non-pay allegation regarding union membership evidence and the voluntariness of the petition.
The Board found the membership evidence reliable because the Form 9 declarant made thorough inquiries.
However, the Board found the petition was not voluntary because it was circulated during working hours at work stations, creating a reasonable perception that management would learn who refused to sign.
The Board certified the union.
