Case 04-RC-148637
DECISION AND CERTIFICATION OF REPRESENTATIVE
The National Labor Relations Board has considered objections in a secret-ballot election
held April 30, 2015, 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
104 ballots cast for the Petitioner and 38 ballots cast against the Petitioner, with 16 challenged
ballots, an insufficient number to affect the results.
On September 25, 2015, the Board granted the Employer’s request to withdraw its July
22, 2015 exceptions to the hearing officer’s report. Accordingly, the Board adopts the hearing
officer's findings and recommendations, and finds that a certification of representative should be
issued.1

1 The hearing officer recommended overruling the Employer’s objections.
