Lake Stevens Sewer District, Decision 13319-A (PECB, 2021)

STATE OF WASHINGTON

BEFORE THE PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS COMMISSION

Bill Keenan, Director of Organizing, for the Washington State Council of County and City Employees.

John Lee, Attorney at Law, Summit Law Group PLLC, for the Lake Stevens Sewer District.

On January 20, 2021, the Washington State Council of County and City Employees filed a petition to represent certain employees of the Lake Stevens Sewer District. After an investigation, the Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC) determined that a card check could be conducted and reserved the eligibility challenges for a subsequent determination. The tally indicated that the Washington State Council of County and City Employees was entitled to certification and the eligibility issues did not affect the outcome of the card check. PERC issued an interim certification in Lake Stevens Sewer District, Decision 13319 (PECB, 2021) and conducted further proceedings to resolve the eligibility challenges.

Prior to a ruling, the parties resolved their differences. PERC has reviewed the parties’ resolution and determined that 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 nonsupervisory Operations and Collections employees and all Clerical Support Staff of the Administrative, Accounting, and Customer Service Departments of the Lake Stevens Sewer District, excluding supervisory employees, confidential employees, and all other employees.

2.                  The above-captioned matter is CLOSED.

ISSUED at Olympia, Washington, this  15th  day of July, 2021.
