Re:  Election Office Case No. P-374-LU320-NCE

 

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

Jed Osborne, a member of Local Union 320.  The protester alleged that a flyer distributed by the United Minnesota Teamsters Coalition slate included his name as a candidate on an opposing slate. Mr. Osborne is not a candidate for delegate.  The United Minnesota Teamsters Coalition slate acknowledged the error and sent a subsequent mailing identifying and apologizing for the error.  Mr. Osborne 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  The Election Officer, finding that the withdrawal effectuates the purpose of the Rules, permits the protest to be WITHDRAWN.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:
