On August 30, 1995, Office and Professional Employees International Union, Local 8 (OPEIU) filed a petition for investigation of a question concerning representation with the Public Employment Relations Commission, involving certain employees of Seattle Housing Authority. As a result of preliminary processing of the petition, the Commission proceeded with determination of the question concerning representation, and issues concerning the eligibility of certain employees for inclusion in the bargaining unit were reserved for subsequent determination. The tally indicated that OPEIU, Local 8 was entitled to certification in the matter, and that the reserved eligibility issues were not of a sufficient number to affect the outcome of the proceedings.

An interim certification was issued in this matter, as Seattle Housing Authority, Decision 5305-B, (PECB, 1996), for the bargain­ing unit described as:

All full-time and regular part-time employees of the Seattle Housing Authority (in grades 1 through 12), excluding confidential employees, supervisors, and all other employees.

The proceeding was held open to resolve the eligibility disputes previously framed by the parties.

Prior to issuance of a decision on the eligibility issues, the parties resolved their differences. It therefore appears that all issues that could properly be addressed in this representatioi proceeding have been resolved, and that no further proceedings are necessary.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is

ORDERED

1. The interim certification issued in this matter will stand as the     final certification in    this representation proceeding.

2. The above-captioned matter is CLOSED.

Issued at Olympia, Washington, on the 16th day of July, 1996.
