ILLINOIS FRATERNAL ORDER OF
POLICE LABOR COUNCIL
Petitioner
CERTIFICATION OF REPRESENTATIVE AS BONA FIDE
UNDER SECTION 7(B) OF THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT OF 1938
On October 27, 2014, Illinois Fraternal Order of Police Labor Council filed with
the Regional Director for Region 13 of the National Labor Relations Board a request for
certification of representative as bona fide under Section 7(b) of the Fair Labor
Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. § 207(b).
On November 10, 2014, the Regional Director served on the parties an Order to
Show Cause why the Board should not grant the request. No response was filed. As
the Region’s investigation revealed that the Petitioner is the recognized collective-
bargaining representative of the unit employees, the Regional Director recommended to
the Board that the requested certification be issued.1

1 The record includes a copy of the parties’ most recent collective-bargaining
agreement, effective by its terms from May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2017. In addition,
the record discloses that on August 2, 2012, the Illinois Labor Relations Board certified
the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police Labor Council as the representative of full time
employees of the Village of Fox Lake in the title of Telecommunicator.
2
No party having shown cause why the requested certification should not be
issued, the National Labor Relations Board hereby certifies that Illinois Fraternal Order
of Police Labor Council is a bona fide representative, for purposes of Section 7(b) of the
FLSA, of the employees of Village of Fox Lake, Illinois in the following bargaining unit: 2
Included: All full time employees of the Village of Fox Lake in
the following title: Telecommunicator
Excluded: All other employees of the Village of Fox Lake.
Dated, Washington, D.C., February 4, 2015.
By direction of the Board:

2 A certificate of representative as bona fide for purposes of the FLSA does not
necessarily establish the right of the organization so certified to be recognized as the
exclusive bargaining representative of employees within a particular bargaining unit
under the provisions of the National Labor Relations Act. See County of Alameda, 322
NLRB 614 (1996).
