Case 3-RD-1594
DECISION AND CERTIFICATION OF REPRESENTATIVE
The National Labor Relations Board has considered objections to an election held
June 23, 2011, and the Hearing Officer's report recommending disposition of them. The
election was conducted pursuant to a Stipulated Election Agreement. The tally of ballots shows
91 ballots cast for Union and 62 ballots cast against the Union, with 5 challenged ballots, an
insufficient number to affect the results.
No exceptions have been filed to the hearing officer's report within the time provided.
Accordingly, the Board adopts the Hearing Officer’s findings and recommendations, and finds
that a certification of representative should be issued.
