The applicant union applied for certification for a unit of construction labourers employed by the respondent.
A group of objecting employees filed a petition opposing the certification.
The Board found that the petition was not a voluntary statement of desire, as it was circulated by an employee during working hours and signed by a foreman who directed another employee to sign it.
Given the perceived management involvement, the Board declined to order a representation vote and granted the certification based on the union's membership evidence.
