Chapter ERC 11 - Elections to determine bargaining representative for municipal sector personnel
Section ERC 11.05 - Commission pre-hearing action on petition
Current through August 26, 2024
(1) SERVICE OF PETITION. Upon receipt of a petition, the commission shall serve a copy of the petition on all interested parties identified in the petition.
(2) DETERMINATION OF SHOWING OF INTEREST. In cases in which a showing of interest is required under s. ERC 11.02(3), the commission shall determine the sufficiency of the showing of interest.
(3) CONCILIATION. If the commission determines that further proceedings are warranted, the commission may cause an effort to reach informal settlement of all or part of an election petition to be undertaken by a commission designee. A conciliator so designated shall attempt through mediation to assist the parties in reaching an informal agreement resolving some or all of the issues that might otherwise require a hearing. The pendency of conciliation shall not preclude the scheduling or conduct of a hearing if scheduling is specifically requested by any party prior to the conclusion of conciliation. If the conciliator concludes that further conciliation efforts are unlikely to produce a settlement, the processing of the case shall proceed, including the scheduling of a hearing, if appropriate.
(4) NOTICE OF HEARING.
