DECISION AND DIRECTION

them. The election was conducted pursuant to a Decision and Direction of Election. The

ballots cast against the participating labor organization. There were 0 void ballots and 2
challenged ballots, a sufficient number to affect the results.1

1 The Board agent conducting the election challenged the ballots of Gredshen Del Cristo
and Maryorie Costoso because their names did not appear on the list of eligible voters.

No exceptions have been filed to the hearing officer's report within the time
provided. Accordingly, the Board adopts the hearing officer's findings and
recommendations.2
