In an application for certification of a craft unit of projectionists, the union objected to cross-examination regarding the specific skills exercised by the projectionists.
The union argued that the licensing requirement under the Theatres Act was determinative of the projectionists' status as a distinguishable craft under section 6(3) of the Labour Relations Act.
The Board upheld the objection, finding that the mandatory licensing regime under the Theatres Act established that the projectionists were members of a craft by reason of which they were distinguishable from other employees, making further inquiry into their technical skills unnecessary.
