Case 13-RC-124648
DECISION AND DIRECTION
The National Labor Relations Board has considered challenges and objections to
an election held April 25, 2014, 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 14 ballots cast for and 12 ballots cast against the Petitioner, with 5
challenged ballots, a sufficient number to affect the results.
No exceptions have been filed to the Hearing Officer’s report within the time
provided. Accordingly, the Board adopts the Hearing Officer’s findings and
recommendations.
DIRECTION
IT IS DIRECTED that the Regional Director for Region 13 shall, within 14 days of
this direction, open and count the ballots of William Mansfield, Carl Fleming,
Josh Johannpeter, and thereafter prepare and serve on the parties a revised tally of
ballots. If the updated tally of ballots shows that the Petitioner has not received a majority
of votes in favor of representation, the election held on April 25, 2014 must be set aside,
and a second election shall be held.1
Dated, Washington, D.C., August 21, 2014.
