Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 11, November 1, 2024

Section 115-025-0066 - Election Procedures

(1) Setting the Election Process. If the Board determines that a valid petition for an election has been filed, the Board will conduct an election by secret ballot. The Board will confer with the parties to set the terms of the election process, such as the date of the election. If the parties do not enter into a consent election agreement regarding the election process, the Board shall conduct a hearing to resolve any disputes about the election process. The Board will schedule a hearing to resolve such disputes as soon as practicable, and provide notice of hearing as required by OAR 115-010-0040. If objections to the petition were filed, the Board may consolidate all of the issues for hearing, and the hearing rules set forth above, in OAR 115-025-0065, apply.

(2) Consent Election Agreements. The parties may waive a hearing and enter into a consent election agreement after fourteen (14) days from the date that the notice of petition was posted by the employer. The agreement will include a description of the unit; the dates, times and places of the election; and the payroll period or formula to be used in determining the employees eligible to vote. The bargaining unit set out in the consent election agreement will be deemed an appropriate bargaining unit when the consent election agreement is approved by the Board.
