POLICE OFFICERS LABOR COUNCIL (POLC)
Petitioner
CORRECTED CERTIFICATION OF REPRESENTATIVE AS BONA FIDE
UNDER SECTION 7(b) OF THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT OF 1938
On March 6, 2020, the Police Officers Labor Council (POLC) (the Petitioner) filed
with the Regional Director for Region 7 of the National Labor Relations Board a request
for certification of representative as bona fide under Section 7(b) of the Fair Labor
Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. § 207(b).
On April 1, 2020, the Regional Director for Region 13 served on the parties a
Notice to Show Cause why the Board should not grant the request.1 No response was
filed. As the Region’s investigation revealed that the Petitioner is the recognized
exclusive collective-bargaining representative of the unit employees,2 the Regional
Director recommended to the Board that the requested certification be issued.
1 Although the Notice to Show Cause was inadvertently dated “30th day of April 1,
2020,” the Regional Director’s letter dated April 27, 2020, indicates that a copy of
the Notice to Show Cause was sent to the Employer on April 1, 2020. The record
indicates that the Notice to Show Cause was filed with the Board on April 1, 2020.
We correct the date for the purposes of this order.
2 The record indicates that prior to the issuance of the Notice to Show Cause, the
Employer in a letter dated March 16, 2019, informed the Region that the Petitioner
is the exclusive collective-bargaining representative of the bargaining-unit
2
No party having shown cause why the requested certification should not be
issued, the National Labor Relations Board certifies that the Police Officers Labor
Council (POLC) is a bona fide representative, for purposes of Section 7(b) of the FLSA,
of the employees in the following unit:3
All regular full-time supervisors employed by Genesee County 911
Consortium Commission at its Central Dispatch Facility at G-4481
Corunna Road, Flint, Michigan; excluding guards, dispatchers, office
clerical and all other employees.
Dated, Washington, D.C., May 28, 2020.

employees involved in the Petition. The Employer has recognized the Petitioner as
the collective-bargaining representative of its employees in the unit and embodied
such recognition in the terms of the parties’ collective-bargaining agreement for the
period of September 30, 2019 through September 30, 2022.

A certificate of representative as bona fide for purposes of the FLSA does not
necessarily establish the certified organization’s right to be recognized as the exclusive
bargaining representative under the provisions of the National Labor Relations Act. See
County of Alameda, 322 NLRB 614 (1996).
