BEFORE THE PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS COMMISSION
| In the matter of the petition of: International Longshore and Warehouse union local 28 Involving certain employees of: port of vancouver |
CASE 135970-E-22 DECISION 13607-A - PORT FINAL CERTIFICATION |
Emily M. Maglio, Attorney at Law, Leonard Carder, for the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 28.
Julianna Marler, CEO, for the Port of Vancouver.
On October 17, 2022, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 28 filed a petition to represent certain employees of the Port of Vancouver. After an investigation, the Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC) determined that an election could be conducted and reserved the eligibility challenges for a subsequent determination. The tally indicated that the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 28 was entitled to certification and the eligibility issues did not affect the outcome of the election. PERC issued an interim certification in Port of Vancouver, Decision 13607 (PORT, 2022) 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. 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 Security Officers of the Port of Vancouver, excluding supervisors, confidential employees, and all other employees.
2. The above-captioned matter is CLOSED.
ISSUED at Olympia, Washington, this 10th day of January, 2023.
