Re: Election Office Case No. P-623-LU550-NYC
Gentlemen:
James John Carter, a member of Local Union 550, filed a protest pursuant to
Article XIV, Section 2(b) of the Rules for the 1995-1996 IBT International Union Delegate and Officer Election (“Rules”) against Local Union 550 Secretary-Treasurer Richard Volpe alleging that Mr. Volpe used local union resources to request an appeal hearing before the Election Appeals Master. Mr. Carter now advises the Election Officer that he wishes to withdraw his protest. The Election Officer, finding that the withdrawal effectuates the purpose of the Rules, permits the protest to be WITHDRAWN.
Any interested party not satisfied with this determination may request a hearing before the Election Appeals Master within one day of receipt of this letter. The parties are reminded that, absent extraordinary circumstances, no party may rely upon evidence that was not presented to the Office of the Election Officer in any such appeal. Requests for a hearing shall be made in writing and shall be served on:
James Carter
