Application for certification (first of two decisions). The local had not previously been found to be a trade union within the meaning of the Act. There appears to be a dispute as to whether or not the position(s) of painters of properties should be included in the bargaining unit. The Board directed that the local file evidence of trade union status and that the proposed bargaining unit description could be appropriate, and directed that a representation vote be taken of “all employees engaged in painting theatrical scenery and the building of theatrical props in the City of Hamilton save and accept production manager and persons above that rank.” The Board further directed that the ballots of disputed individuals be segregated and not counted until the Board so ordered or the parties agreed.
