If there has been a collective bargaining unit established and recognized by its employer prior to the taking effect of this act, an employee or labor organization may, upon filing with the office of the commissioner a short resume of its existence or contractual life with its employer, be certified by the commissioner as being an appropriate collective bargaining unit as defined in the Kansas labor relations act.
The commissioner will make whatever additional investigation he cares to make and feels is necessary to ascertain the correctness of the petitioning organization's assertion. The commissioner will make available a petition form for such organization or representatives of the same.
