The applicant trade union applied for certification.
The union filed documentary evidence of membership demonstrating support well in excess of the 55% required for outright certification.
A group of objecting employees filed petitions indicating opposition to the union.
The Board found that the objecting employees failed to establish the voluntariness of the petitions, noting significant gaps in the evidence regarding their origination and circulation, as well as the involvement of individuals perceived as managerial.
The Board gave no weight to the petitions and granted certification to the applicant without a representation vote.
