IN RE: GABRIEL SALCIDO, Protestor.
Protest Decision 2006 ESD 356
Issued: September 26, 2006
OES Case No. P 06 328-083006-FW
Gabriel Salcido, member and vice president of Local Union 439, filed a pre election protest pursuant to Article XIII, Section 2(b) of the Rules for the 2005 2006 IBT International Union Delegate and Officer Election ("Rules"). The protest alleged that the local union and its principal officer, Sam Rosas, violated the Rules by endorsing, sponsoring and authorizing a petition demanding that Salcido resign his elected position with the local union because of his support for the Leedham slate.
By email dated September 15, 2006, counsel for the protestor requested to withdraw the protest.
Accordingly, we deem this protest WITHDRAWN.
Any interested party not satisfied with this determination may request a hearing before the Election Appeals Master within two (2) working days of receipt of this decision. The parties are reminded that, absent extraordinary circumstances, no party may rely upon evidence that was not presented to the Office of the Election Supervisor in any such appeal. Requests for a hearing shall be made in writing, shall specify the basis for the appeal and shall be served upon:
