                  BEFORE THE PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS COMMISSION

 

 

In the matter of the petition of:

 

INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNICAL EMPLOYEES, LOCAL 17

 

Involving certain employees of:

 

KING COUNTY

 

 

 

CASE  22772-E-09-3502

 

DECISION 10607-A

 

ORDER CLOSING CASE

 

 

 

On October 8, 2009, International Association of Professional and Technical Employees, Local 17 filed a petition for investigation of a question concerning representation with the Public Employment Relations Commission, involving certain employees of King County.  As a result of prelimi­nary processing of the petition, the Commission determined 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 International Association of Professional and Technical Employees, Local 17 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 King County, Decision 10607 (PECB, 2009), for the bargaining unit described as:

 

 

ALL FULL-TIME AND REGULAR PART-TIME EMPLOYEES OF KING COUNTY IN THE BUSINESS RELATIONS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SECTION, EXCLUDING SUPERVISORS, CONFIDENTIAL EMPLOYEES 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 representation 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 19th day of February, 2010.
