Re: Election Office Case No. P-1060-LU283-MGN
Gentlepersons:
Gail Sullivan, a member of Local Union 283, filed a pre-election protest pursuant to Article XIV, Section 2(b) of the Rules for the 1995-1996 IBT International Union Delegate and Officer Election (“Rules”). Ms. Sullivan was an employee of Local Union 283 until September 25, 1996. In her protest, she alleged that the local union would not accept her payment for October dues, denying her the right to vote in the International officer election. Local Union 283 has now accepted Ms. Sullivan’s payment. Ms. Sullivan now advises the Election Office 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The Election Officer, finding that the withdrawal effectuates the purpose of the Rules, permits the protest to be WITHDRAWN.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:
