1.                  The PSE of Washington filed a petition for investigation of a question concerning representation with the Public Employment Relations Commission, for the Paraeducators at the Creston School District.

All classified public school employees in the transportation, food service, and custodial-maintenance general job classifications.  Excluding all other employees.

 

3.                  All proceedings were conducted under the supervision of the Commission in a manner designed to afford the affected employees a free choice in the selection of whether they wished to be represented by the PSE of Washington in its existing bargaining unit.  A confidential cross-check of employer and union documents has been conducted by the Commission staff and a tally of the results previously furnished to the parties is attached hereto; and no meritorious objections have been filed with respect to these proceedings.

 

4.                  The existing bargaining unit represented by the PSE of Washington shall be modified to include the Paraeducators for a bargaining unit described as:

 

All classified public school employees in the paraeducator, transportation, food service, and custodial-maintenance general job classifications.  Excluding all other employees.
