ORDER SEVERING CASES AND DISMISSING COMPLAINT |
The above-captioned unfair labor practice cases filed with the Public Employment Relations Commission under Chapter 391-45 WAC were previously consolidated for processing, based upon the fact that each case concerns a work jurisdiction claim by the respective unions concerning the same body of work.
Public Safety Employees, Local 519 asserted its work jurisdiction claim in the above-captioned matter on behalf of a bargaining unit of corrections personnel employed by King County. By a certification issued on September 10, 1996, the King County Corrections Guild was named as exclusive bargaining representative of that unit, and Local 519 ceased to be exclusive bargaining representative. King County, Decision 5619 (PECB, 1996).
Since Local 519, is no longer the exclusive representative of the bargaining unit involved, it no longer has legal standing to file or pursue the “refusal to bargain” theory it advanced in Case 11995-U-95-2816.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is
ORDERED
1. The order consolidating the above-captioned matters is VACATED.
2. The complaint charging unfair labor practices filed in Case 11995-U-95-2816 is DISMISSED.
ISSUED at Olympia, Washington this 31st day of October, 1996.
