STATE OF WASHINGTON
BEFORE THE PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS COMMISSION
In the matter of the petition of: Washington Federation of State Employees Involving certain employees of: Washington State Human Rights Commission |
CASE 138803-E-24 DECISION 13923-A - PSRA FINAL CERTIFICATION |
Herb Harris, Manager of PERC Activities, for the Washington Federation of State Employees.
Amee J. Tilger, Assistant Attorney General, Attorney General Robert W. Ferguson, for the Washington State Human Rights Commission.
On March 22, 2024, the Washington Federation of State Employees filed a petition to represent certain employees of the Washington State Human Rights Commission. After an investigation, the Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC) determined that a card check could be conducted and reserved the eligibility challenges for a subsequent determination. The tally indicated that the Washington Federation of State Employees was entitled to certification and the eligibility issues did not affect the outcome of the card check. PERC issued an interim certification in Washington State Human Rights Commission, Decision 13923 (PSRA, 2024) and conducted further proceedings to resolve the eligibility challenges.
Prior to a ruling, the parties resolved their differences. PERC has reviewed the parties’ resolution and determined that the resulting bargaining unit is appropriate under the statute. No further proceedings are necessary.
ORDER
1. The interim certification will stand as the final certification in this representation proceeding for the bargaining unit described as follows:
All civil service employees of the Human Rights Commission, excluding confidential employees, supervisors, WMS employees, Internal Auditors, and employees in other bargaining units.
2. The above-captioned matter is CLOSED.
ISSUED at Olympia, Washington, this 22nd day of August, 2024.
