all employees of the Radisson Suite Hotel Toronto Airport, Toronto, Ontario, save and except supervisors and those above the rank of supervisor, office, clerical, sales, and security staff.

[6]. All individuals who had an employment relationship with the responding party in the voting constituency on November 2, 2000, the certification application filing date, are eligible to vote. Employees having an employment relationship on November 2, 2000, the certification application filing date, include employees who were not at work on that date, so long as there is a reasonable expectation of their return to employment.
[7]. Voters will be asked to indicate whether or not they wish to be represented by the applicant in their employment relations with the responding party.
