Case 13-WH-071857
ILLINOIS FRATERNAL ORDER
OF POLICE LABOR COUNCIL
Petitioner
CERTIFICATION OF REPRESENTATIVE AS BONA FIDE
UNDER SECTION 7(B) OF THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT OF 1938
On January 5, 2012, the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police Labor Council (the
Petitioner) filed with the Regional Director for Region 13 of the National Labor Relations
Board a request for certification of representative as bona fide under Section 7(b) of the
Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. § 207(b).
On January 11, 2012, the Regional Director served on the parties an Order to
Show Cause why the Board should not grant the request. No response was filed.
Thereafter, because of an administrative delay, on August 28, 2015, the Regional
Director served on the parties another Order to Show Cause why the Board should not
grant the request. No response was filed. As the Region’s investigation revealed that
the Petitioner is the recognized collective-bargaining representative of the unit
employees, the Regional Director recommended to the Board that the requested
certification be issued.1

1 The record indicates that the Employer is a public sector employer and that the Illinois
Labor Relations Board issued a certification of representative establishing the Petitioner
2
No party having shown cause why the requested certification should not be
issued, the National Labor Relations Board hereby certifies that Illinois Fraternal Order
of Police Labor Council is a bona fide representative, for purposes of Section 7(b) of the
FLSA, of the employees of the Village of Maywood in the following bargaining unit: 2
Included: All Telecommunicators and the TCO Supervisor.

as the representative of the unit employees on August 31, 2009. The record also
indicates that the Employer and Petitioner are parties to a collective-bargaining
agreement effective from October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2014.

A certificate of representative as bona fide for purposes of the FLSA does not
necessarily establish the right of the organization so certified to be recognized as the
exclusive bargaining representative of employees within a particular bargaining unit
under the provisions of the National Labor Relations Act. See County of Alameda, 322
NLRB 614 (1996).
