Findings of Fact

1.                  PROTEC17 filed a representation petition concerning employees of the City of Seattle. 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 is described as follows:

All full-time and regular part time employees in the Strategic Advisor 1, Strategic Advisor 2, Manager 1, and Manager 2 job classes working at the City of Seattle’s Office of Arts and Culture, excluding 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 were 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.
