The applicant union sought certification for a bargaining unit of the respondent's drivers in the Sudbury, Sturgeon Falls, and Espanola districts.
The respondent employer argued that the only appropriate unit would encompass all its drivers in the entire Northern Ontario region.
The Board found that the applicant's proposed unit was appropriate for collective bargaining, noting that it did not present serious labour relations problems and that the distances in Northern Ontario provided disincentives to a region-wide unit.
A certificate was issued for the applicant's proposed unit, with one Board Member dissenting.
