Case 12-UD-149017
DECISION AND CERTIFICATION OF RESULTS OF ELECTION
The National Labor Relations Board has considered an objection to a mail ballot election
held between April 27, 2015 and May 11, 2015, and the Regional Director's report
recommending disposition of it. The election was conducted pursuant to a Stipulated Election
Agreement. The revised tally of ballots shows that of 46 eligible voters, 29 ballots were cast in
favor of withdrawing the authority of the bargaining representative to require, under its
agreement with the Employer, that employees make certain lawful payments to the Union in
order to retain their jobs, with 4 ballots cast against the proposition, and 1 undetermined
challenged ballot, an insufficient number to affect the results.
No exceptions have been filed to the Regional Director's report within the time provided.
Accordingly, the Board adopts the Regional Director's findings and recommendations, and finds
that a certification of results of election should be issued.
