The applicant trade union applied for certification to represent occasional teachers employed by the respondent school board.
The Board found that the applicant was a trade union and that the proposed bargaining unit of occasional teachers was appropriate.
The Board determined that occasional teachers were not covered by existing collective agreements with other unions, as they had been historically overlooked and fell under the Labour Relations Act by default.
Finding that more than fifty-five percent of the employees in the unit were members of the applicant, the Board granted the certificate.
