Document Summary
A trade union under s. 1 of the olra must: be an organization of employees, bargain to improve working conditions (as one of the objectives). Section 133: once an organization has been determined to be a union, that finding will apply in subsequent cases unless evidence to the contrary is provided. Unions organize a workplace by initiating an organizing drive. A union must get a sufficient number of employees to sign a membership card in order to trigger a certification vote at the workplace. 8(2) and 10(1) require that at least 40% of the ees in the bargaining unit sign up as members and that over 50% of the votes be in favour of the union. If so, the union will be certified as the bargaining agent for a group of ees and the er will be required by law to deal with that union. A union is certified to represent a group of ees.
