Decertification petition found voluntary despite union's allegations of employer interference during prior lock-out.
The applicant employee filed an application to terminate the bargaining rights of the respondent union.
The union argued that the petition was not voluntary due to the employer's conduct during a recent lock-out, the hiring of replacement workers, and the payment of a larger Christmas bonus to the applicant.
The Board found that the employer's actions did not taint the petition, as they were not directly related to its origination or circulation, and the petition was circulated eight months after the lock-out ended.
The Board concluded the petition was voluntary and directed a representation vote.
