The applicant union applied for certification.
The respondent employer alleged irregularities in the union's membership evidence, pointing to a letter sent by the union to employees asking them to confirm their membership and payment of the $1.00 fee.
The employer argued this raised a suspicion about the evidence and requested a representation vote.
The Board held that the letter was consistent with the union taking extra precautions regarding the accuracy of its membership evidence and did not raise a suspicion.
The Board accepted the membership evidence and granted certification.
One Board member dissented, arguing a vote should have been ordered.
