BEFORE THE PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS COMMISSION
|
In the matter of the petition of:
WASHINGTON FEDERATION OF STATE EMPLOYEES
Involving certain employees of:
PIERCE COUNTY
|
CASE 132668-E-20
DECISION 13207-A - PECB
CORRECTED FINAL CERTIFICATION |
Herb Harris, Coordinator of PERC Activities, for the Washington Federation of State Employees.
Andrew L. Logerwell, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, for Pierce County.
On March 27, 2020, the Washington Federation of State Employees filed a representation petition with the Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC) involving certain employees of Pierce County. After an investigation, PERC determined that a card check could be conducted and reserved the eligibility challenges for a subsequent determination. The tally indicated that the Washington Federation of State Employees was entitled to certification and the eligibility issues did not affect the outcome of the card check. PERC issued an interim certification, Pierce County, Decision 13207 (PECB, 2020), and conducted further proceedings to resolve the eligibility challenges.
Prior to a ruling, the parties resolved their differences. After review of the agreement, the resulting bargaining unit is appropriate under the statute. No further proceedings are necessary.
ORDER
1. This will stand as the final certification in this representation proceeding and the bargaining unit description will be modified as follows:
All full-time and regular part-time nonsupervisory employees in the Crime Victim Advocates, Legal Assistants 1, 2, 3, & 4, Legal Interviewers, and Paralegals 1 & 2 job classes at the Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, excluding supervisors, confidential employees, and all other employees.
2. The above-captioned matter is CLOSED.
ISSUED at Olympia, Washington, this 5th day of November, 2020.
