Direction of Election is denied as it raises no substantial issues warranting review under existing

Dated, Washington, D.C., April 23, 2020.
1 In denying the request to stay the election, we acknowledge that this election involves
employees of an acute-care hospital and that conducting an election during the COVID-19
pandemic raises significant challenges for the employees, the Petitioner, and the Employer, as
well as for Regional personnel. However, we recognize that our general obligation is to maintain
operations to the extent that it is safe and feasible to do so. Although there may be
circumstances in a particular case that warrant postponing an election, the Acting Regional
Director carefully considered the circumstances presented here, and neither the parties nor the
record has raised an issue that warrants postponement of the election.
