Re: Election Office Case No. P-252-LU407-CLE
Gentlemen:
A pre-election protest was filed pursuant to Article XIV, Section 2(b) of the Rules for the 1995-1996 IBT International Union Delegate and Officer Election (“Rules”) by
James R. Collum, a member of Local Union 407. The protester alleged that he was denied access to an employer’s work site to campaign, in violation of the Rules. Mr. Collum now advises the Election Officer that he wishes to withdraw his protest. The Election Officer, finding that the protest has been resolved and that the withdrawal effectuates the purpose of the Rules, permits the protest to be WITHDRAWN.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:
Kenneth Conboy, Esq.
Latham and Watkins
885 Third Avenue, Suite 1000
New York, NY 10022
