Section 8 AAC 97.110 - Recognition by mutual consent

The public employer and a labor or employee organization may agree that the labor or employee organization is to be the representative of employees in an agreed-upon bargaining unit. Upon the request of the labor or employee organization, the labor relations agency will certify the organization if investigation by the labor relations agency verifies the majority status of the labor or employee organization and the appropriateness of the bargaining unit under AS 23.40.090 or AS 42.40.740. The labor relations agency will, in its discretion, verify majority status by

(1) reviewing the employee petition or interest cards for support of 50 percent of the employees, plus one additional employee, in the proposed bargaining unit;

(2) reviewing certifications of the results of a collective bargaining agreement ratification election from the labor or employee organization and from the public employer, so long as all members of the bargaining unit had the right to vote in the election; or

(3) other means determined by the labor relations agency and agreed to by the parties.
