The applicant union was previously certified by the Board, but objecting employees were not given notice of the initial hearing.
The objecting employees argued this was a denial of natural justice and requested the proceedings be recommenced.
The Board held a second hearing to allow the objectors to make representations.
The Board found that the objectors' petition would not have affected the union's representative status even if given maximum weight.
As the objectors declined to call evidence or make substantive representations at the second hearing, the Board concluded any prejudice was cured and affirmed its decision to issue the certificates.
