The union applied for certification.
A group of objecting employees sought to extend the terminal date to file an untimely statement of desire, claiming they misunderstood whether they were included in the bargaining unit.
The Board refused the extension, noting the strict application of terminal dates and that the employees had reasonable notice.
As the union demonstrated over 55% membership support regardless of the remaining disputes over certain managerial exclusions, the Board issued interim certificates and appointed a Board Officer to inquire into the disputed positions.
