IN RE: JOHN PHILLIPENAS,                   )           Protest Decision 2012 ESD 366
                                                                        )           Issued: January 23, 2012
                    Protestor.                                    )           OES Case No. P-304-071111-FW

                                                                        )           

            John Phillipenas, member of Local Union 631, filed a pre-election protest pursuant to Article XIII, Section 2(b) of the Rules for the 2010-2011 IBT International Union Delegate and Officer Election (“Rules”).  The protest alleged that the Joint Council 42 executive board retaliated against Phillipenas for not supporting Hoffa-Hall candidates.

By email received January 17, 2012, protestor’s counsel requested to withdraw this protest.  Finding that withdrawal furthers the purposes of the Rules, we deem this protest WITHDRAWN.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:

Kenneth Conboy

Election Appeals Master
