Case 21-RC-106534
DECISION, ORDER, AND DIRECTION OF RUNOFF ELECTION
The National Labor Relations Board has considered objections to a second election
conducted by mail ballot between February 10 and February 28, 2014, and the Acting Regional
Director’s Second Supplemental Decision recommending disposition of them. The election was
conducted pursuant to a Supplemental Decision and Notice of Second Election. The tally of
ballots shows 179 ballots cast for the Petitioner SEIU/NAGE Local 5000, 1 ballot cast for
Intervenor National Emergency Medical Services Association (NEMSA), and 174 ballots cast for
Intervenor United Emergency Medical Services Workers, AFSCME Local 4911, AFL-CIO. The
tally of ballots also shows 31 ballots cast against the participating labor organizations, 2 void
ballots, and 5 challenged ballots, an insufficient number to affect the results.
No exceptions have been filed to the Acting Regional Director’s Second Supplemental
Decision within the time provided. Accordingly, the Board adopts the Acting Regional Director’s
findings and recommendations.1
IT IS ORDERED that this proceeding is remanded to the Regional Director for further
appropriate action consistent with the Acting Regional Director’s Second Supplemental
Decision, including the conducting of a runoff election.
Dated, Washington, D.C., May 29, 2014.
By direction of the Board:

1 The Acting Regional Director recommended that NEMSA’s Objections Nos. 1-12 be overruled
in their entirety. In addition, as none of the three labor organizations on the ballot for the second
election received a majority of the valid votes cast in the election, the Acting Regional Director
recommended that a runoff election be conducted between the choices on the ballot that
received the highest and the next highest number of votes: Petitioner SEIU/NAGE Local 5000
and Intervenor AFSCME Local 4911.
