DECISION AND ORDER REMANDING
The National Labor Relations Board, by a three-member panel, has considered
objections to a mail ballot election held between February 1, 2011, and February 22,
2011, and the Regional Director’s report recommending disposition of them. The
election was conducted pursuant to a Stipulated Election Agreement. The tally of votes
shows 20 votes for the Petitioner, 2 votes for the Intervenor, and 7 votes for neither labor
organization, with 2 void ballots and no challenged ballots.
The Board has reviewed the record in light of the Intervenor's exceptions, and
finds that the Intervenor's Objection raises substantial and material factual issues
warranting further investigation and, if necessary, a hearing. In particular, the Objection
raises issues with respect to whether the Employer properly posted the election notice
pursuant to Sec. 103.20 of the Board's Rules and Regulations, whether there is evidence
2
that the Employer favored either party during the election process, and the relevance, if
any, of such evidence.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that this proceeding is remanded to the Regional Director for
further investigation and, if necessary, a hearing, consistent with our Decision.
Dated, Washington, D.C., June 29, 2011.
