Findings of Fact

1.                  The Service Employees International Union Local 925 filed a representation petition concerning the Campus Security Monitors at the Lake Washington School District.

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.
