DECISION AND CERTIFICATION OF RESULTS OF ELECTIONS
On October 25, 2011, Hearing Officer Joseph H. Bornong of the National
Labor Relations Board issued his Report and Recommendation to the Board on
Objections, in which he recommended overruling all of the Petitioner’s objections
to the mail ballot elections held in these proceedings and the issuance of a
Certification of Results of Election.
The elections, which were held starting on May 6, 2011, were conducted
pursuant to Stipulated Election Agreements. The tally of ballots in Case 18-RC-
17751 shows 22 ballots cast for and 23 ballots cast against the Petitioner, with
no challenged ballots. The tally of ballots in Case 18-RC-17752 shows 1 vote
cast for and 2 ballots cast against the Petitioner, with 1 challenged ballot, an
insufficient number to affect the results.

The Employer filed timely exceptions to the Hearing Officer’s Report and
Recommendation. On November 16, 2011, the Employer filed a Motion to
withdraw its Exceptions to the Hearing Officer’s Report and Recommendation.
The Employer’s Motion to withdraw its Exceptions is hereby granted.
Accordingly, as there are no exceptions pending before the Board and the
time allowed for such filing having expired, the Board adopts the Hearing
Officer’s findings and recommendation.
CERTIFICATION OF RESULTS OF ELECTIONS
IT IS CERTIFIED that a majority of the valid ballots have not been cast for
AFSCME Council 5, and it is not the exclusive collective-bargaining
representative of these bargaining units’ employees.
Dated, Washington, D.C., November 22, 2011.
By direction of the Board:
