The applicant applied to terminate the bargaining rights of the responding party union.
At the hearing to determine the voluntariness of the petition filed in support of the application, the applicant provided evidence of the petition's preparation but failed to provide evidence regarding its circulation, continuity of carriage, or the circumstances under which each signature was collected.
The union brought a non-suit motion.
The Board granted the non-suit motion and dismissed the application, finding that the applicant failed to meet its onus to prove the petition represented the voluntary wishes of the employees.
