DECISION AND DIRECTION
The National Labor Relations Board has considered determinative
challenged ballots in an election held May 9, 2012, and the Hearing Officer’s
report recommending disposition of them. The election was conducted pursuant
to a Stipulated Election Agreement. The tally of ballots shows 8 ballots cast for
the Petitioner and 7 ballots cast against the Petitioner, with 2 determinative
challenged ballots, a sufficient number to affect the results.
No exceptions have been filed to the hearing officer's report within the
time provided. 1 Accordingly, the Board adopts the Hearing Officer's findings and
recommendations. 2

1
On July 13, 2012, the Employer requested to withdraw its earlier-filed exceptions to the
hearing officer’s report and requested that the Board allow the Region to proceed with the
processing of this case. That request is hereby granted. No other party filed exceptions.

DIRECTION
IT IS DIRECTED that the Regional Director for Region 1 shall, within 14
days of this direction, open and count the ballot of Brendan Wilkins, and
thereafter prepare and serve on the parties a revised tally of ballots, and issue
the appropriate certification.
Dated, Washington D.C., August 6, 2012.
