The applicant sought to set aside a representation vote that resulted in the union retaining its bargaining rights, alleging that the union circulated misleading pre-vote propaganda.
The applicant claimed the propaganda falsely characterized the vote as a union versus management scenario and suggested employees' jobs would be in jeopardy if the union were decertified.
The Ontario Labour Relations Board dismissed the application, finding that the alleged statements were not of such a nature that they would overpower the critical faculties of the employee voters.
