The union applied for certification and filed an unfair labour practice complaint regarding the discharge of a key union organizer.
A group of employees filed a petition opposing the union.
The Board found the petition was not proven to be voluntary due to the presence of a management member during its signing, and certified the union without a vote.
Regarding the discharge, the Board found the employer proved the employee was fired for an unauthorized after-hours entry onto company property, not for his union activities.
The unfair labour practice complaint was dismissed.
