The applicant union was certified to represent employees at the respondent's new plant when only two employees were working.
Subsequently, two other unions intervened, arguing that the certificate was issued during a period of workforce build-up and should be reconsidered.
The Board found that a significant increase in the workforce was planned at the time of the original application, such that the two employees did not constitute a representative segment.
The Board exercised its power under section 95(1) of the Labour Relations Act to revoke the certificate and directed the taking of a representation vote.
