Holding

The application for review is dismissed with costs.

Facts

The Transport and Allied Workers Union (K) applied to review an Award by Justice Paul Kosgei granting recognition to the union. The union claimed it had not achieved a simple majority, while the employer argued the union had.

Issues

  1. Whether the union had achieved a simple majority at the time of recruitment.
  2. Whether the union's application for recognition was valid given the employer's claims of resignations and illegal surveys.

Reasoning

The court found no new facts or errors in the award, and the percentage of members recruited is reckoned at the time of the application, not subsequently.

Outcome

Dismissed with costs
