Laid-off employee attending employer-paid training course included on employee list for union certification count.
The applicant union applied for certification to represent a bargaining unit of the employer's employees.
The sole issue in dispute was whether a specific employee should be included on the list of employees for the purpose of determining the union's membership support.
The employee had been laid off prior to the application date but continued to attend an employer-paid training course related to his job duties.
The Board found that the employee was 'at work' while attending the course and was therefore properly included on the list of employees.
The Board ordered a representation vote.
