The applicant union applied for certification.
The Board considered whether the applicant, following a name change and merger, was a trade union within the meaning of section 1(1)(n) of the Labour Relations Act.
The Board found that the applicant had continued the constitutional continuity of its predecessor and was therefore a trade union.
The Board appointed a Labour Relations Officer to inquire into the duties of assistant managers and management trainees, but granted interim certification as the union had sufficient membership support regardless of the outcome of the dispute.
