PETITIONS CONCERNING REPRESENTATION

Overview

RULE:

60CC-1.001

Showing of Interest

PURPOSE:

The Commission proposes to amend Rule 60CC-1.001 related to showing of interest statements to provide more uniformity and efficiency in processing representation petitions filed by unions.

SUMMARY:

The rule is being amended to provide additional clarity on how showing of interest statements must be prepared and filed with the Commission. The amendments require that the showing of interest cards include a written signature, date, and that they must be written in English, but can include translations into other languages. The cards must be filed with the Commission Clerk under seal and will not be returned. They must be organized in alphabetical order and be accompanied by a corresponding list of names of the individuals who have signed cards. The amended rule also codifies Commission case precedent on the procedure for its administrative review and challenges to the showing of interest.
