The applicant employee filed an application for termination of bargaining rights (decertification) against the respondent union.
The Board found that the petition did not express the voluntary wishes of the employees, as the applicant was closely associated with another employee who was perceived as linked to management, and the employer had previously demonstrated anti-union animus by allowing anti-union notices to remain posted and failing to discipline employees who engaged in an anti-union strike.
The application was dismissed, with one Board member dissenting.
