In the matter of the petition of:
PUBLIC DEFENSE MANAGEMENT GUILD
Involving certain employees of:
KING COUNTY
|
CASE 26071-E-13-3830
DECISION 11972-A – PECB
ORDER CLOSING CASE |
On November 5, 2013, the Public Defense Management Guild 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 Public Defense Management Guild 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 for the bargaining unit described as:
All full-time and regular part time managers and supervisors of the King County Public Defense, excluding non-supervisory employees, directors, confidential employees and all other employees.
King County, Decision 11972 (PECB, 2014). 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 7th day of July, 2014.
PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS COMMISSION
