Pre-Election Hearing

A date is set for pre-election hearing:

The Union and the Company will either:

1. “Stipulate to the election,” which means that an agreement is reached on:

• who will be in the bargaining unit; and
• set the date(s), time(s) and place(s) of the election.

2. “Fail to consent to the election,” which means that formal NLRB hearings are needed:

• in order to rule on the election and;
• set the date(s), time(s) and place(s) of the election.

The company is required to provide the Union with a list of the employees who are eligible to vote. The list must contain the names and addresses of eligible employees.

A union observer will also be chosen to observe the election process.
