Section 11.21.2.33 - CERTIFICATION

A. If, after all issues concerning representation have been resolved, and the expiration of the intervention period described in Section 16, above, only one labor organization is seeking to represent the appropriate bargaining unit, the director shall compare the showing of interest with the employee list provided by the employer pursuant to Subsection B of Section 12 above, and determine whether the petitioning labor organization has demonstrated majority support. In cases where the showing of interest demonstrates majority support the director shall issue a certificate showing the name of the labor organization selected as the exclusive representative and setting forth the bargaining unit it represents as well as the numerical basis for the determination. In cases where more than one labor organization seeks to represent the unit, or has intervened pursuant to Section 16, above, or where the showing of interest does not demonstrate majority support, the director shall proceed with an election as described in these rules.

B. In cases where an election is conducted, if no objections are filed pursuant to Section 34, below, then the director shall issue as may be appropriate either a certificate showing the name of the labor organization selected as the exclusive representative and setting forth the bargaining unit it represents, or a certification of results, showing that no labor organization was selected as bargaining representative. The results of each election shall be reviewed by the board and appropriate action taken at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the board after the objection period following the election.
