CASE 132936-E-20

DECISION 13245 - PECB

CERTIFICATION
Self-Determination by Card Check

Herb Harris, Coordinator of PERC Activities, for the Washington Federation of State Employees.

Sofia D. Mabee, Attorney at Law, Summit Law Group PLLC, for the King Conservation District.

Findings of Fact

1.                  The Washington Federation of State Employees filed a representation petition concerning the Program Managers at the King Conservation District. The Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC) determined the petition was timely filed and accompanied by a sufficient showing of interest. No other organization claimed to represent the employees involved.

2.                  The existing bargaining unit, last certified in King Conservation District, Decision 13086 (PECB, 2019), represented by the Washington Federation of State Employees is described as follows:

All full-time and regular part-time nonsupervisory employees of the King Conservation District, excluding supervisors, confidential employees, and all other employees.

3.                  Because the more than 50 percent showing of interest threshold was met, PERC conducted card check proceedings. The employees were given a free choice in the proceedings. The tally of results was provided to the parties. No meritorious election objections have been filed.

4.                  The existing bargaining unit represented by the Washington Federation of State Employees shall be modified to include the Program Managers for a bargaining unit described as follows:

All full-time and regular part-time nonsupervisory employees of the King Conservation District, excluding supervisors, confidential employees, and all other employees.

Conclusions of Law

1.                  The unit described in finding of fact 4 is an appropriate unit within the meaning of RCW 41.56.060.

2.                  Representation proceedings were conducted in accordance with RCW 41.56.060 and chapter 391‑25 WAC.
