STATE OF WASHINGTON
BEFORE THE PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS COMMISSION
| In the matter of the petition of: Garfield County Deputies Association Involving certain employees of: Garfield County |
CASE 134552-E-21 DECISION 13452-A - PECB FINAL CERTIFICATION |
Morgan Maddess, President, for the Garfield County Deputies Association.
Garfield County Commissioners, for Garfield County.
On October 18, 2021, the Garfield County Deputies Association filed a petition to represent certain employees of Garfield County. 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 Garfield County Deputies Association was entitled to certification and the eligibility issues did not affect the outcome of the card check. PERC issued an interim certification in Garfield County, Decision 13452 (PECB, 2021) 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 full-time commissioned uniformed officers/deputies employed at Garfield County’s Sheriff’s Office, excluding supervisors, confidential employees, and all other employees.
2. The above-captioned matter is CLOSED.
ISSUED at Olympia, Washington, this 3rd day of May, 2022.
