Board grants union certification, finding disputed employees are not guards or managers under the Act.
The applicant trade union applied for certification of a bargaining unit of employees at Moose Factory Hospital.
The respondent employer argued that nine employees were guards under section 12 of the Labour Relations Act and that one employee exercised managerial functions under section 1(3)(b).
The Board found that the nine employees were not guards, as their duties primarily involved protecting property from visitors and intruders rather than monitoring other employees.
The Board also found that the supervisor of security services did not exercise effective control or authority over employees and was therefore not a manager.
A certificate was issued to the applicant.
