The applicant trade union filed an application for certification and two unfair labour practice complaints against the employer and an employees' association.
The employer and association brought preliminary motions to dismiss the complaints for failing to disclose a prima facie case and to strike portions of the pleadings.
The Board ruled that it would not entertain the applicant's request to rescind an existing certificate held by the association, as the request was untimely.
The Board struck certain vague paragraphs from the unfair labour practice complaints but found that the remaining particulars disclosed a prima facie case.
The matters were directed to proceed to a hearing on the merits.
