The applicant union applied for certification of a part-time support staff unit at the respondent's hospital in Wiarton.
The respondent argued that the appropriate bargaining unit should also include employees at a recently acquired hospital in Lion's Head, citing common administration and a small float team of employees working at both locations.
The Board rejected the respondent's argument, noting its normal practice of defining bargaining units by municipal boundaries and the lack of organizing interest at the Lion's Head facility.
The Board found the Wiarton-only unit appropriate and, satisfied that more than 55% of the employees were union members, ordered a certificate to issue.
