R4-2-212. Intervention by a Subsequent Labor Organization

A. The ALJ may allow a subsequent labor organization to intervene only at the initial session of the pre-election hearing on a petition filed by the first labor organization and may place the subsequent labor organization on an election ballot only if the ALJ finds: 1. The subsequent labor organization filed with the Board a petition for certification election together with a sufficient number of signed authorizations to meet the 30% showing of interest required to establish a question of representation under R4-2-210; and 2. The subsequent labor organization filed its petition and authorizations not later than seven days before the scheduled start of the initial session of the pre-election hearing. B. In determining the validity of an authorization filed by a subsequent labor organization, the Board shall use the same authorization period as that of the original petitioner. C. In determining the showing of interest for a subsequent labor organization, the Board shall use the same eligibility period as that of the original petitioner.
