The applicant union applied for certification to represent employees of the responding party.
The Board first granted the applicant's request to amend its name on the application to reflect a minor change, finding it would not cause confusion.
The Board then considered whether the applicant held trade union status, given its history of name changes and charter updates.
Relying on undisputed evidence that the local had operated as a trade union for decades, represented 1500 members, and bargained collectively, the Board found it to be a trade union under the Labour Relations Act, 1995.
As a majority of employees voted in favour of the union, a certificate was issued.
