In an application for certification of a large unit of security guards, the parties agreed to a representation vote but disputed the union's request for the disclosure of employee addresses.
The employer argued the Board lacked jurisdiction to order disclosure and raised confidentiality concerns.
The Board held it had jurisdiction under section 105(2)(f) of the Labour Relations Act to make the direction.
Balancing the union's need to communicate with the electorate against the employer's confidentiality interests and employee privacy, the Board directed a compromise: the employer must produce address labels, and the union may attend the employer's offices to jointly label and mail sealed envelopes containing campaign literature at the union's expense.
