The applicant union applied for certification of a single retail store location.
The responding employer argued that a single store unit was inappropriate due to the frequent interchange of employees among its six Toronto-area stores and centralized training and buying practices, proposing instead a municipal-wide unit.
The Board applied the Hospital for Sick Children test and found that the single location unit would not cause serious labour relations problems.
The Board granted interim certification for the single store unit, pending the resolution of disputed supervisory classifications.
