STATE OF WASHINGTON
BEFORE THE PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS COMMISSION
|
In the matter of the petition of: PROTEC17 Involving certain employees of: KING COUNTY |
CASE 133232-E-20 DECISION 13302-A - PECB FINAL CERTIFICATION |
Xuan-Trang Tran-Thien, Union Organizer, for PROTEC17.
David Levin, Labor Relations Negotiator-Senior, for King County.
On December 14, 2020, PROTEC17 filed a petition to represent certain employees of King County. After an investigation, the Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC) determined that a card check could be conducted and reserved the employer’s challenge to the unit description for a subsequent determination. The tally indicated that PROTEC17 was entitled to certification and the employer’s challenge did not affect the outcome of the card check. PERC issued an interim certification in King County, Decision 13302 (PECB, 2021) and conducted further proceedings to resolve the employer’s challenge.
The parties were informed that the employer’s challenge to the unit description was not germane to the instant proceeding and needed to be resolved through a unit clarification proceeding. The employer accepted this determination and no further proceedings are necessary to resolve this matter.
ORDER
1. The interim certification will stand as the final certification in this representation proceeding for the bargaining unit described as follows:
All full-time and regular part-time nonsupervisory employees in the Project-Program Manager, Communications Specialist, Educator Consultant, Statistician, and Engineer job series who work for the King County Department of Community & Human Services in the following divisions: Performance, Measurement & Evaluation; All Home; Adult Services; Housing, Homelessness & Community Development; Director’s Office; Developmental Disabilities & Early Childhood Development; and Children, Youth & Young Adult Services. Also including all full-time and regular part-time nonsupervisory employees in the Business & Financial Officer job series in the King County Department of Community and Human Services (excluding employees in the Business and Finance Section). Excluding statutory supervisors, confidential employees, employees in other bargaining units, and all other employees.
2. The above-captioned matter is CLOSED.
ISSUED at Olympia, Washington, this 15th day of July, 2021.
