Section 585:35-3-9 - Petition for consent election

(a) Where a question of representation exists, the parties involved may petition the Board to hold an election to determine the exclusive bargaining agent, if any, for such unit.

(1) The consent election shall be conducted under the direction and supervision of the Board.

(2) An election shall not be directed in any bargaining unit or any subdivision thereof within which, in the preceding twelve-month period, a valid election has been held.

(b) Within seven (7) days of notice that a consent election has been set, the corporate authority shall furnish to the Board, and to each party to the proceedings, an alphabetical list of the names, addresses, departments and job titles of the permanent paid employees in the appropriate unit on the eligibility payroll date who were on the payroll on the date of the filing of the petition and who are on the payroll at the time of the submission of the list. Failure of the corporate authority to furnish the above described list shall be good cause for the Board to exercise its discretion in ordering that a free and untrammeled election cannot be conducted and certifying a bargaining agent as the exclusive bargaining agent for the appropriate unit.

(c) In cases of a Board-ordered election, the eligibility payroll date shall be determined by the Board.
