election was conducted pursuant to a Stipulated Election Agreement. The tally of ballots shows
485 eligible voters, with 194 ballots cast in favor of withdrawing the authority of the bargaining
representative to require, under its agreement with the Employer, that employees make certain
lawful payments to the Union in order to retain their jobs, 118 ballots cast against the
proposition, and 4 void ballots. There were no challenged ballots.
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, and finds
