Union certified; employer's late intimidation charges and request for Italian notices dismissed.
The applicant union applied for certification.
The respondent employer raised two preliminary issues: it sought to adduce evidence of alleged intimidation by union supporters to justify a representation vote, and it requested that the Board's notice to employees be reposted in Italian.
The Board declined to entertain the intimidation charges because the employer failed to provide timely particulars despite having knowledge of the allegations weeks before the hearing.
The Board also denied the request to repost the notice in Italian, finding that the employer lacked standing to raise procedural objections on behalf of the employees.
Finding that more than fifty-five percent of the employees were union members, the Board granted certification.
