DECISION AND CERTIFICATION OF RESULTS OF ELECTION
The National Labor Relations Board has considered objections to a secret-ballot election
held March 20, 2014, and the Regional Director's report recommending disposition of them. The
election was conducted pursuant to a Stipulated Election Agreement. The tally of ballots shows

bargaining representative to require, under its agreement with the Employer, that employees

Union contends that the election should have been blocked due to a pending unfair labor
practice charge; and, in Objection 6, that any decision not to block the election should have
been communicated timely to the Union. The Regional Director recommended that the Union’s
objections be overruled in their entirety.
