all employees of the Wilson Memorial General Hospital, in the District of Thunder Bay, regularly employed for not more than twenty-two and one-half (22 1/2 ) hours per week, in the classifications listed on Schedule “A” attached in the Full-Time Collective Agreement, and students employed during the school vacation period, save and except supervisors, persons above the rank of supervisor, professional medical staff, graduate nursing staff, undergraduate nurses, graduate pharmacists, under-graduate pharmacists, graduate dietitians, student dietitians, technical personnel, office and clerical staff, those covered by subsisting Collective Agreements, ambulance drivers who function on a voluntary basis, laboratory technicians, assistant laboratory technicians and X-ray technicians,

constitute a unit of employees of the responding party appropriate for collective bargaining.

[4]. On the taking of the representation vote directed by the Board, more than fifty per cent of the ballots cast by employees in the bargaining unit were cast in favour of the applicant.

[5]. A certificate will issue to the applicant.

[6]. The Registrar will destroy the ballots cast in the representation vote taken in this matter following the expiration of 30 days from the date of this decision unless a statement requesting that the ballots should not be destroyed is received by the Board from one of the parties before the expiration of such 30 day period.
