HAR §12-43-189. identities appearing on authorization cards

The authorization cards shall not be shown or furnished to any of the parties after acceptance by the board or hearings officer and shall be destroyed when the file is closed notwithstanding any other rule to the contrary. (c) A board or hearings officer's finding of the eligibility of an employee to sign an authorization card or of the validity of the signature of the employee on an authorization card, or both, shall be dispositive of the issue and not subject to litigation or collateral attack, except upon sufficient evidence that the signature was obtained improperly through fraud or coercion. If there is a dispositive finding by the board or hearings officer that the employee is eligible to sign an authorization card and that the signature of the employee on an authorization card is valid, the authorization of the employee shall be counted toward the final determination of certification by the board or the hearings officer conducting the investigation.
