The applicant union applied for certification.
At the commencement of the hearing, the responding employer requested an adjournment because certain employees had written to the Board requesting the representation vote be overturned under s. 11(2) of the Labour Relations Act, 1995, but had not received notice of the hearing.
The union objected on the basis that the employees' submissions were untimely and not delivered to the other parties.
The Board granted the adjournment, finding that regardless of the merit of the union's arguments, the employees should be given an opportunity to respond.
