The applicant trade union applied for certification to represent a bargaining unit of lifeguards employed by the respondent.
Both parties agreed to this proposed unit.
However, the Board noted a policy against the fragmentation of bargaining units, given the existing multiplicity of bargaining relationships between the respondent and various unions.
The Board rejected the agreed-upon unit and instead found that a 'tag end' unit, consisting of all employees not currently covered by existing collective agreements or certifications, was the appropriate bargaining unit.
A Labour Relations Officer was directed to inquire into the list of employees in this unit.
