their ap plication or union has been accepted Personnel Director said an examiner had been appointed by the Labor Relations Board to scrutinize information about who is and who is not eligible for union membership One of the staffers involved in having the request for certification brought before the Labour Relations Board explained that management and the union have disputed who is eligible for mem Playgames Management claims that health inspectors should be included but they were not part of the original proposal The staff spokesman suggested management is playing games It s pretty hard to argue that they should be included with us They an en tirely different function work outside and are not involved with us at all At least per cent of the people deemed to be eligible must voteTn favor of forming the union for automatic certification Otherwise a vote must be called with at least per cent of Ihe eligible employees voting in favor If the board reels the Health Unit inspectors are to be a part of that bargaining unit it could jeopardize the chance of having the union formed Hack out The inspectors were unionized but backed out of the union about six years ago when Ihcy felt they wcren being properly represented Because thai experience some of the inspectors arc not anxious to belong to a union again Had management not challenged the petition as it was forwarded by staff the union could have received automatic certification Low morale and salary problems especially among the lower classed jobs are generally considered to be key reasons for the staff desire for a union
