Union certification application dismissed due to failure to provide valid membership evidence by the terminal date.
The applicant employee association applied for certification to represent employees of the respondent.
The Board found that the applicant established its status as a trade union within the meaning of the Labour Relations Act, as employees had adopted a constitution and confirmed their membership at a founding meeting.
However, the application for certification was dismissed because the applicant failed to demonstrate sufficient valid membership support by the terminal date.
Most membership cards were signed before the union came into existence, and the confirmatory documents were signed and filed after the terminal date.
The Board declined to extend the terminal date to cure the defective membership evidence.
