The applicant trade union applied for certification to represent the respondent's construction employees.
The interveners argued that the application should be barred under section 13 of the Labour Relations Act because the employer had selected the applicant as the bargaining agent and deducted union dues prior to certification, constituting improper employer support.
The Board held that in the construction industry, an employer's selection of a trade union as a source of workers does not violate the employer support provisions.
The Board found no improper support and granted the certification.
