The applicant union applied for certification and requested a pre-hearing representation vote.
The Board initially sealed the ballot box due to defects in the membership evidence, specifically the absence of collectors' signatures on the receipts and a problematic Form 9 Declaration.
After hearing oral evidence from the Form 9 declarant and the collectors, the Board was satisfied that the initiation fees were properly collected and the inquiries required by Form 9 were carried out.
The Board found the membership evidence satisfactory, unsealed the ballot box, and, upon counting a majority in favour of the applicant, granted certification.
