Findings of Fact

1.                  The Washington Federation of State Employees filed a representation petition concerning Director of Engagement, Director of Strategic Partnerships, and District Engineer employees of 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 bargaining unit includes the Direct of Engagement, Director of Strategic Partnerships, and the District Engineer and is described as follows:

All full-time and regular part-time District Director and District Engineer employees at King Conservation District, excluding statutory 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.

Conclusions of Law

1.                  The unit described in finding of fact 2 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.
