The applicant union applied for certification of a bargaining unit of mini bar attendants at the responding party's hotel.
The hotel requested that the representation vote be delayed due to an anticipated 'build up' in the bargaining unit following extensive renovations that would increase the number of rooms from 90 to 348.
The Board applied the build up doctrine, finding it relatively certain that the number of mini bar attendants would increase from two to five or six within a reasonable period.
The Board declared the initial representation vote a nullity and directed that a new vote be taken once more than fifty percent of the anticipated complement was hired.
