During an application for certification, the objectors argued that the applicant union's charges of employer misconduct and its request for certification without a vote under section 8 of the Labour Relations Act were not filed promptly as required by Rule 72.
The Board held that the union's obligation to file particulars regarding the voluntariness of employee petitions arose only when it was officially notified of the petitions by the Board, and the union acted promptly thereafter.
The Board also declined to strike the section 8 claim, noting that its timing did not cause any adjournment, prejudice, or delay.
