On October 20, 1992, Robert Barlow filed a petition with the Public Employment Relations Commission, seeking a ruling with respect to his eligibility to assert a right of nonassociation based on personal religious beliefs under a collective bargaining agreement between the Tacoma Education Association and the Tacoma School District. On November 2, 1992, the petitioner was informed, by letter, that his petition had been received and docketed, but that additional information was needed in order to process the matter further. Chapter 391-95 WAC controls the processing of “right of nonassociation” claims before the Public Employment Relations Commission. Apart from information necessary to identify the parties to the dispute, WAC 391-95-110 requires that each petition filed under that chapter shall contain:

…

(4)           Statements, in additional numbered paragraphs, of the matters in dispute.

(5)           A copy, attached to the petition as an exhibit, of the union security provision under which the dispute arises.

(6)           Any other relevant facts.

The petitioner was given a period of 14 days following the date of the letter in which to file and serve an amended petition containing the required information, or face dismissal of the case. Nothing further has been heard from the petitioner.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is

ORDERED

The petition for ruling on union security obligations filed in the above-entitled matter is hereby DISMISSED.

Entered at Olympia, Washington, this 9th day of December, 1992.
