The applicant trade union applied for certification for a unit of employees at the respondent's restaurant.
The incumbent union did not oppose the application and abandoned its bargaining rights.
An intervener union initially alleged employer support for the applicant but later withdrew its intervention and abandoned its opposition following a settlement.
The Board found that the applicant had established sufficient membership support and, given the withdrawal of the intervener and the lack of compelling evidence of employer support, exercised its discretion under section 7(2) of the Labour Relations Act to certify the applicant without a representation vote.
