The applicant trade union applied for certification for full-time and part-time bargaining units at the respondent's hotel.
The parties agreed to exclude office and front desk staff but disputed the inclusion of switchboard operators.
The Board found that switchboard operators shared a closer community of interest with front desk and office staff and excluded them from the units.
The Board also resolved disputes over the employee status of several individuals, finding that an acting chef had ceased managerial duties before the application date, and that an employee terminated on the morning of the application date was still considered an employee for the purpose of the application.
The Board determined the membership percentages and directed the matter to be re-listed to hear outstanding issues regarding alleged discriminatory discharges.
