The applicant union applied for certification to represent employees of the responding party.
A group of employees objected, raising several preliminary issues including the scheduling of expedited hearings, venue, notice to another union, the validity of membership cards, the adequacy of the Form A-4 declaration, the involvement of a perceived manager in organizing, and the relevance of a prior anti-union petition.
The Board dismissed all objections, finding that the union's membership evidence was valid, unambiguous, and superseded the prior petition.
The Board declined to order a representation vote and granted certification.
