The National Mediation Board’s Investigator, Josie G. M. Bautista has posted the NMB decision on the number of eligible voters. This is important due to the fact that there must be a majority (50% + 1) of the eligible voters that have shown interest to have a vote on representation. With this current ruling (if no appeal changes) that would mean that 7203 of the eligible voters would have had to show interest in a representational change.
This was the summary of the NMB Decision:
Number of Potential Eligible Voters:
There were 13, 211 (less duplicate entries) Potential Eligible Voters on the List originally submitted by the Carrier on December 4, 2020. I am deleting 13 employees and adding 1205 employees as a result of my eligibility Ruling. Accordingly, the number of eligible voters in this case as of the cut-off date is 14,403.
Any appeal of these rulings must be filed with the National Mediation Board by 4:00 p.m. ET on Monday, July 12, 2021
