Owner-operator truck drivers found to be dependent contractors for the purpose of union certification.
The applicant union applied for certification to represent a group of truck drivers.
The Board found the applicant to be a trade union.
The main issue was whether eight owner-operator drivers were dependent contractors or independent contractors.
The Board found they were economically dependent on the respondent and under an obligation to perform duties, making them dependent contractors.
The Board ordered representation votes to determine if a single employee driver should be included in the same bargaining unit as the dependent contractors.
