The applicant, an employee at Mohawk College, applied for an exemption from paying union dues to the respondent trade union on the basis of his religious beliefs.
The applicant objected to the union's failure to acknowledge God and its support for the right to strike.
Applying a subjective test of sincerity, the Board found that the applicant's beliefs were sincerely held, religious in nature, and the cause of his objection.
The application for exemption was granted.
