The applicant union applied for certification.
A group of objecting employees alleged that union organizers used intimidation, coercion, and material misrepresentations to collect membership cards.
The Board heard evidence from several objecting employees but found no substance to the allegations.
The Board concluded that the employees were not coerced or intimidated, and that any statements made by organizers were either salesmanship or did not overcome the employees' free will.
Finding no taint in the membership evidence, the Board certified the union without a representation vote.
