Re: Election Office Case No. P-499-LU425-SCE
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
Stephen W. Mayer, a candidate for delegate from Local Union 525. The protester alleged that Local Union 525 Secretary-Treasurer Dale Stewart failed to provide him with mailing labels so that he could distribute his campaign literature, which is in violation of the Rules. Mr. Mayer 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 The Election Officer, finding that the withdrawal effectuates the purpose of the Rules, permits the protest to be WITHDRAWN.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:
Stephen Mayer
