Kan. Admin. Regs. § 49-8-2
In the event a labor organization contends that there has been a major breach of its contract with its employer or in the event a collective bargaining unit properly certified by the commissioner's office has no contract with its employer and, in either case, said certified collective bargaining unit desires to have a secret strike ballot taken by the commissioner, it shall be the duty of the officers of the collective bargaining unit to transmit to the commissioner a request to hold an election. Said request shall also include an alleged breach of contract or the fact that no contract exists with the employer at that time. Upon receipt of such request, the commissioner's office will notify the employer and request from the employer a transmittal report giving the employer's version of the dispute.
